“Beef for the Classroom” is a program funded by beef producers through their beef checkoff administered by the Colorado Beef Council. Started in 2001, this program provides financial support for the use of beef products in senior high school Family and Consumer Science and Catering/ProStart courses. It reinforces lessons about lean beef selection, storage, preparation and nutrition. The Colorado Beef Council offers free educational materials to all Colorado teachers to support classrooms.
All Family & Consumer Science programs in Colorado high schools are eligible for the program.
Beef Grant monies are reimbursed to schools for the purchase of beef used in class, up to the amount awarded. Submit this form to receive reimbursement and complete the evaluation.
Deadline is May 1, 2025.
