The following page will be a letter to household/FAQ’s for you to read for additional information. When you are finished scroll to the bottom of the page and Click Next.

 Step 5: Click Add Student.

Step 6: You will enter your student(s) information here. You will be required to enter your student’s first name, last name, and date of birth. You may leave the other items blank if you do not know them. Once you have found your student, you can either save and add another student or save and close if this is your only student. 

If you save and close it will bring you to a screen with your student(s) names listed. At the bottom of that page will be the following screen where you can add income that your student(s) receive, such as Social Security Benefits, Wages, Etc. If your student(s) do not have any income please enter 0.00 and click Next.

Step 7: Enter the number of members in the household. This number includes all members even if they are not in school. After you have entered the total number of household members click “Add Household Member”.

Step 8: On the Household Member screen, please complete all salary information and any assistance or child support that is received by that household member in the appropriate boxes. Click SAVE AND ADD NEW if you need to add another household member or SAVE AND CLOSE if you do not need to add anyone else. You must add all other household members in this section with the exception of the students you added previously. If household members do not have an income, either leave those boxes blank or enter $0.00. If the number of household members does not match the total number of people listed on the application, the system will not let you submit the application until you make the changes and the numbers match. 

NOTE: If you checked an assistance program on the previous page such as SNAP or Medicaid, you can either leave the salary and other income boxes blank or you can enter 0.00 and move on to the next section.

Step 9: Review your free and reduced application and verify all the information is correct. Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom and Click Next if everything is correct.
