Upload your Free/Reduced Lunch Determination Letter from your school (issued for the 2026-27 school year).

This letter, sent by your school or district, confirms your household's eligibility status.

Don't have this exact letter? That's ok! We also accept your most recent 1040 Tax Form (with your Social Security number blacked out); H1028 Form Employment Verification, completed and signed by an employer to confirm your household income; or a Federal Assistance Award Letter A, confirming eligibility for federal programs such as WIC, SNAP, or similar. The letter must clearly state household income.

Please attach a short letter that explains why the Charlotte Symphony Youth Orchestra programs are important to your family.

OPTIONAL: Is there anything else you'd like us to know? Please share any additional circumstances that may affect your family's financial situation (for example, medical bills or a job loss).
