Free or Reduced Lunch Program
Eligibility for the free or reduced lunch program is based on a family’s size and income. Students and families will probably be eligible for financial aid if they participate in the lunch program or if the family’s income is equal to or less than the amount listed for the number of people in the family. ALL families should apply for financial aid, however, as families can and do qualify for financial aid with incomes higher than those listed. Remember, financial aid is awarded based upon financial need. Income is only one criteria used to determine financial need.
