The Consumer Education Foundation was formed to promote healthy eating, and to help people improve what they eat, how much they eat, and how much they enjoy food. Established as a charitable fund in 1999 by , it annually sponsors the Cornell University Consumer Camp {Link without Title} . SCIENCE FAIR AWARDS The Foundation offers small expense-related awards to elementary and secondary students who are conducting school-based or or to a nutrition-related school project in either the United States or in Canada. The priority is on creative, novel ideas. Students who are from small public schools or from rural areas are especially encouraged to apply, as are students whose parents did not have the opportunity to attend college. Applications are evaluated on a continuous basis. {Link without Title} CONSUMER CAMP The Foundation also sponsors Consumer Camp on the campus of Cornell University during the one of the first two weekends in April. This provides a full-day “on-hands” opportunity for people of all ages to learn how to improve what they eat, how much they eat, and how much they enjoy food. In earlier years, Consumer Camps have drawn up to 400 attendees. In recent recent years an attempt has been made to limit attendance to better facilitate interactive experiences. Reservations are required for the free event. EXTERNAL LINKS REFERENCES
