Meals for Jags Food Support Program

Meals today, success tomorrow

The Meals for Jags Food Support Program provides short-term support to students experiencing food insecurity. Food insecurity is when people don't have enough to eat and don't know where their next meal will come from. This scholarship helps ensure that all Jaguars have access to nourishing meals so students can focus on their studies and well-being.

  2. After logging in, you’ll be asked to complete the registration form.
