Free School Meals Applications
This fall, families in 45 school districts will be required to apply directly to their child’s school to determine if they are eligible for free school meals. These school divisions do not have Community Eligibility Provisions (CEP) to connect all kids with quality nutrition, or have limited CEP opportunities available to a certain number of schools within the division.
Additionally, school meal applications may qualify families for additional benefits like discounted exam fees and college applications, extracurricular activities, scholarship opportunities, and even home Wi-Fi.
*Please note that not all divisions will require these applications. School divisions operating the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) will not collect school meals applications and will provide free meals to all students using other eligibility data.
