TSET Expands Access and Increases Awards for Healthy Incentive Grants

Thursday, August 21, 2025

The Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET) announced updates to TSET Healthy Incentive Grants for Schools and Communities for fiscal year 2026, which began July 1. The program will feature a simplified application process, larger grant awards, and broader eligibility to support more Oklahoma communities.

The updates align with other TSET grant programs and are designed to better support smaller districts and rural communities.

“These updates streamline the grant process and will help more districts and communities benefit from health-focused funding,” said Julie Bisbee, TSET executive director. “TSET’s mission is to create healthier environments where Oklahomans live, work, learn and play. These changes reflect our ongoing commitment to efficiency and long-term impact.”

Key updates:

  • Updated maximum funding limits;
  • Eligibility is open to all districts or communities, regardless of past awards;
  • A single award category replaces the previous tiered structure;
  • Increased individual grant amounts up to $80,000 per district and up to $100,000 per community (based on enrollment or population);
  • New online grant application platform.

An updated Resource Guide for School Districts is available to assist applicants in planning and preparation.

Applications for school districts will be open September 2 – 30, 2025 and January 9 – February 6, 2026, and applications for communities will be open October 24 – November 21, 2025 and March 2 – 30, 2026.
