Eligibility for College Students

Many students attending an institution of higher education (i.e., college, university, trade/technical school) more than half-time (as determined by the institution) may be eligible for food assistance through the District’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) if they meet at least one of the exemptions listed below.

Students who meet an exemption must also meet all other SNAP eligibility requirements , such as income limits. The institution of higher education determines what is considered ‘half-time’ enrollment.
