Application Dates and Resources Now Available for FY27 TSET Healthy Incentive Grants
The Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET) announced fiscal year 2027 application dates for TSET Healthy Incentive Grants for Schools and Communities. FY27 resource guides are now available for both grants to help prospective applicants review eligibility, requirements and other information before applications open.
TSET awards Healthy Incentive Grants to schools and communities that adopt policies and practices supporting tobacco-free environments, nutrition, physical activity and wellness.
“Local leaders know what their schools and communities need to support better health,” said Lance Thomas, TSET interim executive director. “These grants help turn that knowledge into action and create lasting change that helps Oklahomans live longer, healthier lives. That is at the heart of TSET’s mission.”
