Allen Independent School District offers free and reduced-price meal benefits to students who qualify. Reduced-price meals at all campuses are $0.30 for breakfast and $0.40 for lunch. 

Please use the application links below to apply online or print a paper copy.

Meals are not free to all students. Lowery Freshman Center and Allen High School, our 9-12 campuses, do not participate in the federally assisted meal programs, such as the School Breakfast Program or the National School Lunch Program. However, we still honor free & reduced-price meals for those who qualify.

To qualify, parents and/or guardians will be required to fill out the Socioeconomic Information Form in lieu of the Free & Reduced Meal Application. The Socioeconomic Information Form for the 23-24 school year will be available below on August 1, 2023. 

LFC or AHS students will not qualify for free or reduced-price meals without completing this form.  Please note, if you have students attending middle or elementary campuses, you will need to complete two forms. Please list all students on both forms

Allen ISD is authorized to accept online free and reduced-price meal applications with an electronic signature. We highly encourage applying online for faster processing.

If you also have children at Allen High School or Lowery Freshman Center, you will need to complete both applications.

If you also have children In Pre-K, Elementary, or Middle School, you will need to complete both applications.

Paper applications are available in each school’s office and in the Student Nutrition Department. In addition, applications may be downloaded and printed from our website.

Students eligible for free or reduced-price meals at the end of last school year are eligible to participate in the meal program at that same eligibility for the first 30 calendar days of this school year, or until a new meal application is received and processed prior to that date. A new application must be submitted in order to be considered for this school year’s program. Students with no application on file after 30 calendar days (September 25, 2022) will be designated as full-pay students after that date.
