Grantees of the Tobacco/Vape-Free College Program receive guidance through webinars, an in-person training and one-on-one consultations throughout the grant period. Since 2015, the Tobacco/Vape-Free College Program has provided funding to more than 200 colleges, universities and college systems to advocate for and adopt a 100% tobacco-free policy.
The goal of the program is to adopt a college-wide policy by June 2024. Grant activities must engage and mobilize the student population and create support among faculty, staff and administration for the policy.
Who can apply?
- Funding is available to colleges or universities located in the 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and five US territories which signed the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement (American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands).
- Colleges and universities that do not have a 100% tobacco- and vape-free policy can apply for grants of up to $20,000.
- Colleges and universities that have smoke- or tobacco-free policies that do not include e-cigarettes may still apply. To combat the vaping epidemic, Truth Initiative is offering grants of up to $10,000 to higher education institutions to strengthen their 100% smoke or tobacco-free policies by adding e-cigarettes.
