Families in the Houston area may be eligible for assistance with meal costs at school. To find out, they will need to submit an application through their SchoolCafé account. The application process is necessary for families with children attending certain schools.

Some schools are exempt from this process, but others require it to determine eligibility. Further details on the application and eligibility are available from the Houston ISD, including a list of schools that require an application for free or reduced cost meals, such as Baker Montessori and Briarmeadow.
