Discount Matrix for NSLP

For schools using CEP, here’s the calculation:
For each of the schools that are participating in the NSLP's Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), multiply the total number of students in the school by the percentage of directly certified students, and then multiply the results by the CEP national multiplier (currently 1.6) to convert the percentage into the number of students eligible for the NSLP. The resulting number cannot exceed 100 percent of the students at that school. Remember to indicate which schools are participating in CEP in the "Discount Calculation" section of your FCC Form 471 application so that the online system can do the calculations for you.
