School Health, Safety, Nutrition and Fitness Grants

Mat-Su Health Foundation annually offers $1000 School Health, Safety, Nutrition and Fitness grants to local Mat-Su Borough schools. The grant application is online and is available in the fall.

The grant provides funding for public and private schools to assist with promoting health, safety, nutrition, and fitness. Applications will be available online October 7, 2012. Only one application per school will be accepted. All applications must be submitted through the principal of the school.
