The Food Finance Institute’s Edible-Alpha® Learning Center offers an array of training geared towards growing profitable food, farm, and food system enterprises. In order to increase access to our paid trainings we offer scholarships that cover up to 100% training costs for those who are:
- Pre-revenue or have been in business less than two years
- A member of an underserved community
**We encourage applicants to pay some percentage of the training cost themselves when feasible, as this helps us spread the available funds across multiple applications.**
