Applications for Free & Reduced-Price Meals Opens August 1 (2026-2027)

Starting August 1, you can use our online system to apply for your free & reduced meal benefits instead of the old paper application. Applying online is fast and discreet.

Don't forget: You must re-apply for school meal benefits each year!

Note: If you received a direct certification letter, you do not need to apply for your student to receive their meal benefits.

Apply online at: www.NLAPPSCLOUD.com
