2019 Colorado Comprehensive Health Education Grant

Applications are now available for the 2019-20 Comprehensive Health Grant that exists to help K-12 schools:

The "Colorado Comprehensive Health Education Act of 1990" encourages every school district to provide a pre K-12th grade planned, sequential health education program. Parental and community involvement in the program is stressed. Parents and guardians have the right to exempt from any or all of the health education program. Local health advisory councils are encouraged and should be representative of the norms and values of the community.

The intent is to foster healthy behaviors by increasing students’ health knowledge and skills to establish and maintain their physical, emotional, social, mental, and sexual health and wellness in addition to the modification of risky behaviors.

This will be a three-year continuing grant with approximately $300,000 available each year for distribution annually. Individual awards for eligible applicants will be granted for up to $30,000.


An application training webinar for the 2019-20 Colorado Comprehensive Health Education Grant will be at 2 p.m. Monday, Feb. 11. Register for this technical assistance via Eventbrite
