Through AT&T Connected Learning℠, we're investing in connectivity and technology, digital literacy, and digital learning solutions to help connect today’s learners with success – in and out of the classroom.

Making affordable connections
By combining new plans from our low-cost Access from AT&T program with federal benefits from the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), eligible households can take advantage of free internet.
Increasing access to technology
To help more students have access to the technology resources they need to learn, we’re working with nonprofits to get devices into the hands of students. We’re also opening AT&T Connected Learning Centers around the country to provide underserved students and families with free access to the internet, computers, and educational resources.
