Currently the national e-Learning Foundation has money available for Individual Support Grants. These are cash grants paid to the school to subsidise the cost of providing a device (e.g. a Netbook mobile) and if required a 3G Internet dongle to families not on FSM but not well off (net household income less than £27k). The school is required to confirm that this is the case to the best of their knowledge, although proof is not required.
The level of funding will not be greater than 35% average of the cost of the package. The family is required to pay the balance. The only secure way for this is to require families to pay their contribution in advance once the grant is approved.
