Any teacher or school librarian from a K-12 school that is connected to Internet2 via a state or regional research and education network can apply for a scholarship to pay for a one-on-one distance learning experience from the CILC.

If you’re not sure whether your school connects, apply anyway- Internet2 will verify a school’s connectivity before awarding the scholarships. Plus, everyone who applies gets links to the Community Anchor Program’s favorite free and low-cost distance learning resources, including the free, interactive Presidential Primary Sources Project
