Some Federal Pell Grant recipients may be eligible for the Federal Communications Commission's Affordable Connectivity Program created by Congress. The Affordable Connectivity Program is a $14 billion program that offers discounts on internet service and computers or tablets.
Currently, over 18.5 million households in the U.S. are enrolled "saving a total of over $500 million per month on their high-speed internet bills" according to a White House fact sheet.
Anyone who has received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year, meets the criteria for a provider's existing low-income internet program, or participates in various other assistance programs including those who live on Tribal lands is eligible for the program.
