How do I find out if my student is eligible?

Students may qualify for free or reduced price meals if total household income is at or below the amount of Federal Income Guidelines.  Click here for the 2023-24 income guidelines.

Students in households receiving SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly Food Stamps) or TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) benefits and most foster children can receive free meals regardless of household income. Households receiving WIC, Oregon Health Plan or other governmental assistance may qualify.
