Affordable Connectivity Program
The Affordable Connectivity Program is an FCC benefit program that helps ensure that households can afford the broadband they need for work, school, healthcare and more.

The benefit provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands.

The program is open to Pell grant recipients as well as those receiving SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC, or Lifeline.
