May 06, 2021 • (TNS) Low-income Hawaii residents will be eligible to receive federal subsidies for internet service and the purchase of new laptops, desktops and tablets beginning May 12 under a federal program aimed at helping households struggling to stay connected during the COVID-19 pandemic.
State officials are encouraging residents to apply as quickly as possible once applications become available as the federal pot of money is limited to $3.2 billion and Hawaii will be competing with other states to tap into the discounts.
