Smoothie Station Grant
Hosting a health fair? The Milk Program wants to help your school celebrate nutrition!
Highlight a powerful bone building snack at your student health fair by including a “Smoothie Station”. Here, students can learn and experience how to include milk in a simple, but satisfying snack.
Apply to the Program to receive up to a $100 grant for your Smoothie Station. At this hands-on school staff led station, students will be invited to participate in helping make a smoothie. Samples will be available for all students to try. Only 20 Milk Program Smoothie Station grants are available per year. Requests are considered on a first come first serve basis.
Successful applicants will receive a confirmation email from the Milk Program. Grant money will only be provided following the event, upon submitting proof of receipt for the smoothie station groceries and sample cups.
