A: Yes, only secondary career and technical education programs are eligible so they would need to be the primary recipient, and if awarded a grant, will be the grantee.
A: No, the college or university doesn't need to have an established program at the time of application. If funding is approved, instruction that benefits secondary career and technical education students must be offered, but the instruction doesn't need to be a part of a formal program.

A: The MEAT Grant is intended to teach students about meat cutting and butchery. Your application should focus on the necessities for this type of instruction rather than what is needed for food preparation. If you apply for items that the review committee determines to be outside the scope of the purpose of the grant, they will have the ability to recommend funding for just those items that are considered eligible.

You will need to determine your predominant mode of sales. If you know or estimate that at least 50% of your gross annual food sales will be to other businesses/establishments, then you will be required to obtain a Wholesale Food Handler license at your food storage location. If you know or estimate that retail sales (i.e., to the end consumer, online sales, etc.) will be at least 50% or more of your gross annual food sales, then you will be required to obtain a Retail Food Handler license. If you have questions regarding your predominant mode of sales, please contact the MDA Licensing Liaison.
