Info Session: Connected and Online

The Connected & Online Program is a new initiative that will distribute up to 27,000 internet-enabled devices, along with assistive technology and supportive equipment, to eligible organizations across Massachusetts. The goal of the program is to expand access to education, workforce training and telehealth by establishing public device lending programs and on-site device stations, especially in Gateway Cities and rural communities. Devices will be fully loaded with software, selected accessories and warranties at no cost to awardees. Funding is provided by the U.S. Treasury Capital Projects Fund (CPF).

Join the info session to ask questions and learn more about the program. You can also learn more by visiting the Massachusetts Broadband Institute's website. 

Applications submitted by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 31 will be reviewed by MBI staff and may receive clarifying questions from the review team. Applicants will then have the opportunity to provide written responses by the final deadline of Friday, Nov. 7.
