Preparing scholars to succeed in college, solve real-world problems, and maximize their impact in the world.
Children need healthy meals to learn. Empower College Prep and Empower College Prep High School offer healthy meals (breakfast & lunch) every school day at NO COST to the students, due to the schools’ participation in the Provision 2 program of the National School Lunch/School Breakfast Programs.
While the meals are provided at no cost, the school must determine which students qualify for free meals or for reduced-price meals. Below is the meal application for free or reduced-price meal benefits, as well as a set of detailed instructions. Please fill out the application and turn it in to the school office.
