Federal Communications Commission Affordable Connectivity Program - Discounted Internet Access for Scholars and Their Families
Because the ÐÓ°É Public School District participates in the Community Eligibility Program (CEP), all scholars are eligible for the USAC/Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). The ACP is a federal program to help eligible households pay for internet service. The ACP provides a monthly discount of not more than $30 per month on broadband service and associated equipment (for example, a modem) for eligible households. If the participating household chooses an eligible plan that costs $30/month or less, the household will receive that service for free. Some participating program providers are also offering an additional one-time benefit of up to $100 off one connected device-a laptop, desktop, or tablet computer-as long as the household contributes more than $10 and less than $50 towards the cost of the device. Each participating household is limited to a single device discount.
How to Apply
To apply, fill out an application (either online, by mail, or through a participating internet service provider).
