For students & parents:
The School Breakfast Program (SBP) provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free breakfasts to children each school day. Free or reduced-price meals are available to children who meet certain income standards. The eligiblity guidelines are similar to the School Lunch Program. Eligibility determinations are made by an official at each school and are based on family size and income information provided on an application submitted by a parent or guardian. Income eligibility guidelines are based on federal poverty guidelines and are updated annually. To enroll in the School Breakfast Program, contact your child's school.

For schools & organizations:
The guidelines for participation are similar to the School Lunch Program. Any public school, charter or nonprofit private school of high school grade or under, can participate in the National School Breakfast Program. Public or nonprofit private residential child care institutions may also participate in the School Breakfast Program (e.g., orphanages, homes for mentally and physically challenged children, temporary shelters, group homes, and juvenile halls).
