WHO QUALIFIES?

"Eligible schools must be located in an empowerment zone or an enterprise community or expect to have at least 35 percent or 
more of their students eligible for free or reduced lunch under the National School Lunch Act. Students in a Qualified Zone 
Academy must be subject to the same academic standards and assessments as other students educated by the local school
 system." (United States Dept. of Ed)

In the simplest terms, an established Zone Academy (school) with 35% or greater of their student body on the 
free and/or reduced lunch program, will qualify.

If your school district fits this, or has a reasonable expectation of having students that "could" qualify, then 
you probably can issue interest free QZABs. (Need help, or have Questions? Check our QZAB Specialist Directory or fill out 
our Information Request Form.) 

Another way of qualifying is if you are in a Federal Empowerment Zone or Federal Enterprise Community.
