LoginIndiana School Breakfast and Lunch Program
Program Description
National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is a Federal entitlement program open to public and nonprofit private schools and residential child care institutions. Lunch is available to all children at participating schools, and the meals must meet specific nutritional requirements to receive Federal funds.
The USDA designed the School Breakfast Program (SBP) to meet the needs of children who arrive at school hungry. Children seldom make up nutrients missed at breakfast at other meals. In 1999 the General Assembly enacted legislation that requires schools that have 25 percent or more of their enrollment eligible for free or reduced-price meal benefits to offer the breakfast program.
General Program Requirements
In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a resident of the State of Indiana and a parent or primary caregiver responsible for a child(ren) who attends school (high school or under).
