What is the Affordable Connectivity Program?
- The ACP is a federal program to help eligible households pay for internet service.
- The ACP provides eligible households a discount of up to $30 per month off their internet bills for households not located on qualifying Tribal lands and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands.
- There are several ways to qualify for the Affordable Connectivity Program such as participating in the Free and Reduced-Price School Lunch or School Breakfast Program, including the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP); participating in certain other federal assistance programs, including Medicaid, SNAP, WIC benefits, or Federal Pell Grants (current award year); or having a household income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.
Online For All
The U.S. Department of Education partnered with Civic Nation to launch Online For All, a digital equity campaign working to close the digital divide by focusing on internet access, affordability, and equity for students, families, and all Americans. Online For All kicked off on June 14, 2023 with a Week of Action to drive enrollment in the Affordable Connectivity Program. The Week of Action brought together the federal government and over 300 organizations to raise awareness about the program and help eligible families sign up.
