Each year, all MPS families are asked to complete an Application for Educational Benefits. Applications must be completed every school year in order for students to qualify for and receive educational benefits. Even families who do not qualify are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to complete the application as the information collected is used by the federal government to provide millions of dollars in funding for MPS. More families completing the Application for Educational Benefits can result in significant increases in resources for the district and its schools, students and families. While paper applications will soon be mailed to MPS households, we recommend families complete the application online for faster processing. For additional support in completing the Application for Educational Benefits, please contact your school’s main office, call MPS Culinary and Wellness Services at 612.668.2808, or email at info.cws@mpls.k12.mn.us.
