The federal Emergency Broadband Benefit is a temporary program that provides discounts of up to $50 a month for internet service at home. Participants also get a one-time discount of up to $100 for a device (purchased through a participating provider). A household can qualify if at least one member:
-
Participates in a federal assistance programs like SNAP or Medicaid;
-
Receives benefits under the free and reduced-price school meal program;
-
Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year; or
-
Lost a job or experienced a substantial loss of income during the pandemic.
The program can only make a difference if the people who need it know about it, so we are asking you to please help spread the word! Please share information about this opportunity with your students and families. You can access a toolkit of printable and shareable Emergency Broadband Benefit awareness materials, including informational flyers and program applications.
