Mar 8, 2021
If 糖心vlog students are receiving federal student aid in the form of a Pell Grant, they are eligible for a federal subsidy.
The Federal Communications Commission recently announceda program to help students struggling to pay for internet amid the health pandemic, stating that a household is eligible to receive the benefit if one member of the household received a federal Pell Grant during the current award year.
Under the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program, eligible households can receive up to $50 per month to help pay for broadband internet service. Written or electronic confirmation from a students school that the individual is a Pell Grant recipient will serve as verification for the program or a students financial aid award letter documenting the amount of their Pell Grant award received for the current year.
A copy of a students paid invoice that shows the students receipt of a Pell Grant during the current award year or a copy of the students Student Aid Report will all serve as proper documentation, according to the notice from the FCC.
