Comcast Internet Essentials Program

In an effort to close the “digital divide,” Comcast is partnering with Chicago area municipalities and school districts to spread the word about its Internet Essentials program that provides affordable access to the Internet, refurbished computers and training to families with at least one child receiving free or reduced lunches under the National School Lunch Program. If your family qualifies, please keep the letter provided by District 204’s Food Service office as proof for Comcast.

Eligible families will receive Comcast home Internet service for $9.95 per month (plus applicable taxes), with no activation or equipment rental charges. In addition, there is an option to buy a computer for under $150 (plus applicable taxes) and receive access to online, print and classroom digital literacy training. A household will be eligible to participate in Internet Essentials if it is located where Comcast offers Internet service; has at least one child receiving free or reduced school lunches through the National School Lunch Program; has not subscribed to Comcast Internet service within the last 90 days; and does not have an overdue Comcast bill or unreturned equipment.

For more information, visit www.InternetEssentials.com or call 855-846-8376. Internet Essentials is not a District 204 program and is not endorsed or required by the District. District 204 is not responsible for Internet Essentials accounts; all questions should be directed to Comcast.
