Zion Elementary School District 6

Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)

All currently enrolled Zion Elementary School District 6 students are eligible for up to $30/month discount on internet services through the FCC’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). All Zion Elementary School District 6 schools receive benefits from ACP qualifying programs, the Free and Reduced-Price School Lunch and Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). Households may choose their internet service provider and plan. Discounts will apply to the household’s internet service provider and plan of choice.

What is the Affordable Connectivity Program?

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a U.S. government program run by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program to help select households pay for internet service and connected devices like a laptop or tablet.

You are likely eligible if you or someone you live with currently receives a government benefit like Free and Reduced-Price Lunch.

If your household is eligible, you could receive:

Up to a $30/month discount on your internet service
A one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer (with a co-payment of more than $10 but less than $50)
A low cost service plan that may be fully covered through the ACP*

* Through a separate non-FCC initiative, additional no cost plans may be available to Affordable Connectivity Program enrollees. To learn more please visit GetInternet.gov. Provision of a link to this initiative does not imply FCC endorsement of any particular participating provider.

Only one monthly service discount and one device discount is allowed per household. To receive the connected device discount, consumers need to enroll in the ACP with a participating provider that offers connected devices (Note: not all internet company offer device discounts.) The internet company will provide the discount to the consumer.

How do I enroll?

To apply for your discounted internet service, visit AffordableConnectivity.gov or call 1-877-384-2575 to request an application. Once you complete the application, you can contact a participating internet service provider to start receiving this benefit.
