Free Laptop with Free or Reduced-Price School Lunch
If your child already qualifies for free or reduced-price school lunch, you're holding the key document that unlocks The On It Foundation's free laptop program and several other K-12 device initiatives.
Key Fact
The On It Foundation requires a school letter, on official letterhead, specifically verifying free or reduced-price lunch eligibility — this is a hard requirement, not just one accepted option among many.

How Free or Reduced-Price School Lunch Connects to Free Laptop Programs
- The On It Foundation requires free/reduced lunch verification as its core eligibility document
- Many school district 1:1 device programs (funded via Title I) are targeted at schools with high free/reduced lunch populations
- Historically accepted for ACP eligibility (program now closed)
What You'll Need
- A letter from your child's school, on official school letterhead, confirming free or reduced-price lunch eligibility
- A signed parent/guardian letter requesting the device (for On It Foundation specifically)
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get the school letter?
Contact your child's school office or the school's free/reduced lunch coordinator (often part of the front office or food services department) and request a letter on official letterhead confirming your child's current eligibility status.
Does this work for homeschooled children?
The On It Foundation states it serves students attending public or home school. For homeschooled children, you'll likely need equivalent documentation of financial need since a traditional school lunch letter may not apply — contact the foundation directly to confirm what they'll accept.
