A new federal grant is making it possible for native Hawaiian students to receive free laptops. Here's Molokai Times has to say about the program:
“The Maui Community College Molokai Education Center is offering Native Hawaiian residents of Molokai the opportunity to qualify for a free laptop.This effort is the result of a USDA Rural Utilities Service Distance Learning and Telemedicine (RUS DS&T) grant. The grant entitled, Project Ohana (Online Health and Academic Network Access), has allowed Maui Community College to upgrade the distance-learning infrastructure at its distance sites.”
The students can use the laptop for distance learning courses, but they are also encouraged to share it with their families. If you think you may qualify, check out the full Molokai Times article for a list of requirements.
