Healthy Incentive Grants: School Districts

Healthy schools make it easier for Oklahoma students, teachers and staff to build healthy habits. TSET Healthy Incentive Grants for School Districts help public school districts strengthen wellness policies and complete projects that support tobacco-free environments, nutrition, physical activity and employee wellness.

Funding is available for:

• Districts with 2,000 students or fewer: Up to $50,000

• Districts with 2,001 students or more: Up to $80,000

Funding amounts are based on the district’s enrollment using the most recent Oklahoma State Department of Education data. No matching funds are required.

School districts may apply during either of two FY27 application periods:

• Sept. 9 – Oct. 8, 2026

• Jan. 5 – Feb. 4, 2027

The FY27 School Districts Resource Guide is now available. For full access to the guide’s forms, clickable sections, attachments and appendices, download the file and open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Adobe Reader is available for free.

Applications open Sept. 9, 2026.

School districts can start preparing now by reviewing and updating their wellness and tobacco-free campus policies. Two free Oklahoma-specific policy builders in the Healthier Generation Action Center walk district teams through the process and help create policy documents aligned with Oklahoma’s sample policies.

The one-page guide explains how to create an account, join your district’s organization and access the Oklahoma School District Wellness Policy Builder and the Oklahoma 24/7 Tobacco-, Smoke-, and Vape-Free Campus Policy Builder.

When the next application period opens, review the current TSET Healthy Incentive Grant Resource Guide for complete application and policy requirements.

Applications must be submitted through the TSET Funding Portal. Visit the TSET Funding Portal page to create an account, open the portal, watch help videos and review important account requirements before you apply.

TSET has a public Q&A process to allow equal information about funding opportunities to be shared with applicants. Questions about this funding opportunity must be submitted in writing via the HIG Q&A webform above.

When posing questions, every effort should be made to be concise and include the page number and section references, when possible. It is the applicant’s responsibility to check the TSET website for answers to submitted questions.

For Healthy Incentive Grants, TSET will answer questions continuously throughout the year. Answers will be posted below.
