High School Tobacco Grants
The Ministry of Health Promotion provides grants of $650 to $1000 to local high schools through the Windsor Essex County Health Unit for the purpose of conducting student-driven tobacco control projects within their schools. Public Health Nurses play a critical role in the success of a high school grant program. Public Health Nurse involvement is essential in order to provide training and support to high school students and school staff who participate in the high school grant program. The goal of the high school grant program is to motivate student-led action and increase awareness of tobacco control issues. For more information, students should talk to their principal.
