Program: Smoke Free Campus Initiative
Subject: Health, Community Colleges, Smoking
Geographic Area: National
Eligibility: Public community colleges,
Maximum Grant Amount: $5,000.00
Application Deadline: August 21, 2015
Description:
Community colleges in the US serve almost half -45 percent- of the undergraduate students in the U.S. With enrollment of 13 million students, community colleges serve as a gateway to postsecondary education for many people of color, low-income, and first-generation college students. Many of these populations suffer disproportionately from tobacco use and its secondhand smoke consequences.
To address this need, in the Fall of 2014, Legacy launched a competitive process to provide grants, up to $5,000 each, to public community colleges across the country to support their efforts to advocate for, adopt, and implement a 100% smoke-free or tobacco-free college policy.Legacy is now accepting applications to fund a second cohort of public community colleges. The deadline for applications has been extended to August 21th, 2015 at 5:00pm EST.
Initial funding is for one year, up to $5,000. Upon invitation by Legacy, grantees may apply for a second year of funding. Please note that community colleges receiving grant awards in April 2015 will not be eligible to apply for additional funding as part of this second cohort.
All applications must be submitted using Legacy's online application system.
