Free Meals for All Students Starting in 2025-26 School Year

Beginning in September 2025, all Guilderland Central School District students will be eligible to receive free breakfast and lunch every school day, thanks to a new state law that expands access to school meals.

While no application is required to receive free meals, we strongly encourage families to complete the 2025-26 Free and Reduced Price Meal Application. The information collected through this form helps determine the amount of funding our district receives to support student programs and services.

Families who qualify may also be eligible for benefits such as waivers for AP exams and college applications, discounts on school-related programs, and access to resources such as the weekend backpack program or holiday assistance.

Submit your form

If you think your household may qualify, please fill out the online meal application or return the completed form to:
