We're bridging the broadband gap in Alabama.

The Alabama State Department of Education launched Alabama Student Connect to help students and teachers who currently lack high-speed broadband internet service or devices get access to the internet.

ABOUT EMERGENCY BROADBAND BENEFIT PROGRAM

The Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program is a new program that provides a temporary discount on home internet bills for qualifying low-income households.  Alabama Student Connect can help connect families to the EBB program.

• Monthly Benefit: Up to a $50/month discount on your broadband service and associated equipment rentals
• Enhanced Tribal Benefit: Up to a $75/month discount if your household is on qualifying Tribal lands
