Assistance for Students and Families without Home Internet April 2020

The Steinman Foundation and Lancaster STEM Alliance have partnered with Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13 (IU13), Technology Coordinators, Comcast and other Internet providers to offer home Internet assistance at no cost for up to six months!

DON’T LET YOUR CHILDREN FALL BEHIND ACADEMICALLY BECAUSE THEY CAN’T ATTEND SCHOOL ONLINE!

Here’s how you can apply:

Step 1: If you live in an area served by Comcast, sign up for the Internet Essentials program before June 30, 2020. You can do this today at InternetEssentials.com or by calling 855-846-8376. If you are eligible for this program, you will receive six months of free broadband Internet plus an additional six months of Internet for $9.95 a month! This will give you a full year of broadband Internet for under $60.

Families in Columbia School District, the School District of Lancaster, La Academia Partnership Charter School, Leola Elementary School, Donegal Intermediate School and Lampeter Elementary School automatically meet income guidelines.

Step 2: If, for any reason, you do not qualify for the Internet Essentials program, contact your local school district Technology Coordinator who has funds to help you find another Internet solution. Names and contact numbers are included on the back of this flyer. Please keep documentation that you have been rejected for the Internet Essentials program or that you live in an area not served by Comcast.

MAKE SURE YOUR CHILDREN HAVE THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO LEARN TODAY AND EVERY DAY!
