How do students qualify for a nominal or reduced-price?
Students from families with incomes at or below 130% of the poverty level, and children in families receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and children in families receiving food stamp benefits are eligible for nominal priced sport/club fees. Students in families whose income is between 130% and 185% of the poverty level are eligible for reduced price sport/club fee.
