The 2007-2008 Fair Trade Study Grant is a weeklong, intensive
study of how Fair Trade Certified™ coffee is produced and the
impact Fair Trade has on Brazilian communities. Study grants
will be awarded to teachers who express exceptional ideas to
educate students on the economic, social and business lessons
surrounding fair trade.
Fair Trade Certified™ coffee began arriving in the United States
in 1988, offering consumers a chance to choose beans that were
grown by individual farmers who are paid a fair price for their
harvest. Nearly a decade later, the availability of Fair Trade
products is expanding, but consumers are still learning how Fair
Trade works. As we expand our offerings of Fair Trade
Certified™ products, Sam’s Club is also proud to sponsor
Fair Trade Study Grants for teachers.
