If your family needs to apply for free and reduced lunch benefits in Fayette County Public Schools you must go ONLINE and sign up.
The 2024-25 school year applications for a student’s free/reduced eligibility are available online. Even if you are in a CEP School where all students receive free lunch your information is still needed!
The primary use of the meal assistance programs’ data is for school meals. But our district also relies on free/reduced eligibility for school fee waivers, magnet school transportation assistance, Family Resource & Youth Services Centers, Title 1 and other school funding programs, Special Education, sports/summer camp scholarships, other meal assisting programs, discounted internet services (EBB program), college pre-exam testing discounts, KEES scholarships and other college financial assistance, and more.
Please check below to see which program your student’s school participates in, and which application or form your household should complete for additional benefits.
2024 – 2025 NON CEP Schools
If your child attends one of the remaining schools not covered by CEP, your family can still apply for free/reduced meal assistance based on household income or other federally approved assistance programs. These schools include:
These students might qualify for free meals, based on family income.

All students enrolled in CEP schools will receive breakfast and lunch at no cost throughout this school year. However, it is still important for families to complete an application for non-meal related benefits associated with student free/reduced data. CEP schools call this the Educational Benefits Form. Filling it out helps both the student’s family and the schools.
