Free Internet for Students (Elementary, Middle School, Highschool)

T-Mobile is offering free internet to 10 million people who qualify under a program called “Project 10 Million”.

What is Project 10 Million?

Project 10Million aims to provide free internet access to millions of underserved K-12 student households. T-Mobile is partnering with school districts across the country to provide free high-speed data and free mobile hotspots. Additionally, it can offer access to at-cost laptops and tablets. There are several options for data usage as well. Each eligible student can get a plan that offers 100GB of data per year for free. Or, school districts can apply for T-Mobile’s 100GB per month plan. For perspective, that’s about 3x the data T-Mobile saw used by students at the start of the pandemic. Finally, there’s a low-cost option for school districts that want unlimited data. All plans will utilize the T-Mobile network, and all will be completely free for students.
