Tobacco-Use Prevention Education Program Rural Initiative Center Grant


Note: The due date for the request for applications has passed. This page is for reference and administration of funding.

Rural Initiative Grants will be funded using JUUL settlement funds allocated to the California Department of Education by the California Department of Justice. Funding will support existing youth education and outreach, as well as the development of new educational campaigns in tobacco prevention for California student communities. Funding will help to counter trends by developing up to two Rural Initiative Centers to increase student access to Tobacco-Use Prevention Education (TUPE) services in underserved rural areas.
