Financial Assistance for Families at District 99

You must complete a Fee and Meal Waiver Application every school year in order to receive financial assistance, even if you qualified last school year. In addition, you MUST complete a form for every District 99 student in your family. 

You will find the current application by going to the “Registration” tab at the top right of the screen in Home Access Center. Click on “Update Enrollment” tab; then under “Available Forms,” select the Fee and Meal Waiver Application and click on “start” to the right:

In order for us to process your application, you must provide acceptable documentation in order to receive a fee and meal waiver so please have the following handy before you start the application:

A SNAP or TANF letter provided from the IL Department of Human Services (if applicable) 

OR

A Current Personal IRS Form 1040 Tax Return (page 1) for all people in your household AND Proof of current income from all sources in your household (i.e., Pay check showing Gross income prior to deductions, Child Support, Pension, Retirement, Social Security, Workers Compensation, Unemployment, etc.) 

Please email Feewaivers@csd99.org with questions.

Families that may be eligible for free and reduced meals are encouraged to complete the Fee and Meal Waiver form through the Home Access Center (HAC). Applications must be completed each academic year to be eligible for a Free or Reduced Fee and Meal Waiver. Until an application is approved for a Free or Reduced Fee and Meal Waiver, all cafeteria purchases are the financial responsibility of the family. 

NOTE: Students qualifying for a FREE meal receive a regular combo meal price for free. Students who qualify for a REDUCED amount may purchase a regular combo meal price for 50% off (half) of the regular combo meal price. Qualifying for either FREE or REDUCED does NOT apply to ala carte items, such as chips, donuts, cookies, etc.; these ala carte purchases must be paid by students and families.
