Scholarships and transportation funds are available to schools serving a high percentage of low-income families. Eligibility is determined in part by the percent of fully-funded lunches provided for your school. All Bay Area public schools are eligible, but priority is given to qualifying schools in San Mateo County and in northern Santa Clara and San Francisco counties. To apply for school support, complete the appropriate section on the School Program Registration Form and follow the registration process.
