What School Administrators Are Saying
Trusted by lecturers and students across Sri Lankan universities
"We process hundreds of breakfast eligibility applications at the start of every term. This tool cut our review time in half — I can now determine eligibility in seconds instead of cross-referencing charts manually."
"The categorical programme section is what sets this apart. Parents often don't realise SNAP or Medicaid automatically qualifies their child. Now I can show them instantly and print the letter on the spot."
"The income threshold table is a great reference. I keep this open during intake meetings so I can answer parent questions about income limits without pulling up a separate PDF."
"The printable determination letter is professionally formatted and saves us from typing individual letters. Parents appreciate receiving something official-looking, not a handwritten note."
