Free & Reduced School Meals Application 2024-25

Welcome to the Online Free & Reduced School Meals Application


Before you begin

Remember, you do not need to submit an application if your children were automatically approved (directly certified) for free meals during the 2024-2025 school year.

Households that were automatically approved were notified through a letter sent by their school.

We only need 1 application for all the children that attend schools in Frontier Schools District

How am I eligible?

Eligibility for free or reduced priced school meal benefits is based on any one of these 3 things:

  • Your total household income and size
  • Your child's individual status as foster, homeless, migrant, or runaway
  • Participant in an assistance program by any member of your household

Your U.S. citizenship, immigration status, or not having a SSN does not affect your eligibility for receiving benefits.

Getting started checklist

Lastly, we've compiled a list of the information you might need to complete the application.

  • Review the Income Eligibility Guideline for the 2024-2025 school year.
  • If you are a participant of any assistance program, have your case number ready.
  • If you are not a participant of assistance programs, gather any income documentation for all members of your household.
  • Know how to contact your local school for any questions.
STEP 1: Let's start your application by getting some information about you.

STEP 2: List ALL Household Members who are infants, children, and students up to and including grade 12.

STEP 3: Is any member of your household enrolled in Assistance Program?

Assistance Program: Receipt of benefits by any household member from certain Assistance Programs conveys categorical (automatic) eligibility for free school meals to all children in the household.

Select an option!
Note: Medicaid and Bridge Card numbers are not acceptable case numbers. See Help for more information on Assistance Programs.
STEP 4: Your children's income
Sometimes children in the household earn income. Please include the TOTAL gross income earned by all children listed in STEP 2 here.
How often required!
STEP 5: Adult Households
List all Household Members not listed in STEP 2 (including yourself) even if they do not receive income. For each Household Member listed, if they do receive income, report gross income (before taxes) for each source in whole dollars (no cents) only. If they do not receive income from any source, write ‘0’. If you enter ‘0’ or leave any fields blank, you are certifying (promising) that there is no income to report.
