JEROMESVILLE, Ohio--Help Hillsdale qualify for more Federal Funding! 

Did you know that the district's Federal Funds are directly tied to the Free and Reduced-Meal application? This form, which families are asked to complete at the start of each school year, plays a major role in the funding our district receives.

Many families choose not to fill it out if they don’t need assistance with meal costs. However, completing the application — even if you don’t use the program — can make a significant difference.

Your participation counts! Complete the form today, even if you don’t need assistance, to help increase funding for our students.

Each submission helps us qualify for additional federal and grant money that benefits all students in our district.

We encourage you to fill out the form today. Rest assured, all information shared is kept completely confidential.

The process is easy.
