Establishes a pilot program to promote scratch cooking in school meal programs.

The Scratch Cooked Meals for Students Act amends the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to create a pilot program. The program will award competitive grants to school food authorities to promote scratch cooking, defined as the preparation of food using unprocessed or minimally processed ingredients. Grants can be used for purchasing equipment, employee training, technical assistance, and other related activities. The Secretary of Agriculture will collaborate with nonprofit organizations to establish a technical assistance and resource center.
