Some of the benefits for students and families include... • FREE or Less expensive lunch costs. • Waivers for ACT/SAT. (Almost $200 in savings & 4 free opportunities to test) • Waivers for college applications from ACT. • Waivers for college applications from SAT. • And if your child is an athlete FRL covers the fee for NAIA and NCAA accounts.
