The mission of Laptops 4 Learning is to close the digital technology divide for students by providing them with high quality, refurbished laptops from Microsoft certified refurbishers that come with a 1-year warranty, at an affordable cost. Grant funding and donations are used strictly to reduce the cost of the laptops for low to moderate-income students or for those students who are in Title 1 schools who cannot afford the list price of laptops.
Students who apply for Laptops for Learning are students who may have access to a laptop at school, but not at home. This creates a digital technology "homework gap" divide. The impact of providing these students with a personal laptop for home use is the educational 'success playing field' is leveled for these students, allowing for more success in staying in and completing school.
Rotarians of Rotary Club of Scottsdale North will participate in this project by preparing the grant with the recipient and shepherding the grant through the grant process. RCSN Rotarians will follow up with Laptops 4 Learning to get feedback from students who have been provided laptops to gain perspective on how having a laptop at home has assisted in completion of schooling.
Publicity will involve posting information and pictures on the RCSN various social media channels regarding funding for Laptops 4 Learning and this District Grant.
