SNAP Food Benefits Eligibility
Nationwide, SNAP programs are under-utilized by college students even though it is basically like an additional form of financial aid you can eat! SNAP benefits are accessed through an EBT debit card at many places including grocery stores, farmers markets, department stores, online retailers, convenience stores, and more!
If you are not currently registered with MN SNAP, check to see if you are eligible right now!
