Directs Secretary of Higher Education to establish Wine and Grape Education Grant Program; appropriates $1.5 million.
This bill establishes a $1.5 million grant program to support wine and grape education at New Jersey's four-year public colleges. It directs the Secretary of Higher Education to award up to $500,000 each to three institutions - one in each of the state's southern, central, and northern regions - to create or expand degree or certificate programs in wine science, grape growing, and related business operations. Institutions must include plans for student partnerships with wineries and local industry, and the program permits under-21 students to enroll in coursework not involving alcohol consumption. The program requires a final report to the Governor and Legislature on its implementation and outcomes.
