Financial Assistance

The Winchester School Committee is committed to ensuring every student can fully participate in school life. If your family meets specific income guidelines, you may qualify for a full waiver or reduction of Winchester Public Schools student fees for the upcoming school year.

Student fee assistance and school meals are run by two different programs. Please review the details below.

1. Free & Reduced Lunch Program

This is a federal program administered through the National School Lunch Program.

• How to apply: An application must be submitted specifically for breakfast and lunch benefits. For instructions, guidelines, and forms, please visit our Free & Reduced Webpage.

2. School District Fee Waivers

This application determines if your family qualifies for waived or reduced district-specific student fees (such as atheltics, transportation, or curriculum-based field trips).

• How to apply: Review the instructions below and complete either the Information Sharing Agreement or Financial Assistance Application linked at the bottom of this page.
