Technology Grants Available for Fall
Any student who is registered for fall 2020 courses and has a technology need for the fall semester should apply. These grants are designed to provide whatever technology students need to be successful – that may mean a device, reliable internet access, or a portable internet hot spot. Grants are available on a first-come first-served basis. Students needing a grant for technology expenses should apply as soon as possible so they may obtain their device prior to the start of Fall classes.
To apply, complete the Emergency & Technology Grant Application today.
