    Affordable Internet Services for Low-Income Families

    The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a new federal program that helps low-income households offset the monthly cost of a new or existing internet service and connected devices like a laptop or tablet.

    The ACP may provide families:

    1. Up to $30/month discount for broadband service;

    2. Up to $75/month discount for households on qualifying Tribal lands; and

    3. A one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet purchased through a participating provider if the household contributes more than $10 but less than $50 toward the purchase price.

    To apply, visit affordableconnectivity.gov or call 1-877-384-2575 to request an application.
