HealthierUS School Challenge (HUSSC) Award Program
Effective July 1,
2018, as part of USDA’s commitment to ensure that all our programs are
delivered efficiently and effectively, and to avoid duplicating the efforts of
the private sector, the USDA Food and Nutrition Service will no longer be
accepting applications for the HUSSC Award Program. Any
applications submitted to state agencies prior to June 30, 2018 will be
reviewed for approval. The USDA National Office will announce the final set of
awards by December 31, 2018.
USDA will host a
HUSSC webinar on March 13, 2018, to provide additional guidance to help schools
successfully receive awards prior to the program’s completion.
Register for
the HUSSC Award Program webinar.

Tuesdays@2 webinar series. All webinars begin at 2 p.m. and will be 30-60
minutes in length, unless otherwise noted. Registration and session information
will be posted on the Training: School Nutrition
Programs webpage.

requirement for a meal charge policy and highlight resources available to
assist you in meeting this requirement.
