Have you wanted to purchase an iPad2 but couldn't afford it? You can pick one up now for up to half off the retail price through Project Endeavor, for only $300. If you prefer a tablet with Android technology, you can cuy the Toshiba Thrive for $233.
For over a year now, CSDs Project Endeavor has been offering subsidized broadband plans along with various equipment options. As the project continues to evolve to meet the needs of the nations deaf and hard of hearing populace, Project Endeavor is rolling out a new line of equipment at unbelievable discounts for qualified consumers.
The equipment purchase price does not include the cost of taxes and shipping; those costs can vary and will be added to the overall amount when the equipment is purchased.
Subsidized broadband plans are also available, which you can bundle with specific |equipment, and in some cases, you can purchase the equipment only. Its all the |next phase of this groundbreaking program that brings Internet access to deaf and |hard of hearing people, maximizes that access, and works towards sustaining long-term access once Project Endeavor comes to completion.
New eligibility guidelines have opened up the program to more deaf and hard of hearing people than ever before. Vocational rehabilitation clients and transition |students automatically qualify, as long as they have at least a 40 dB hearing |oss. Program income guidelines have been expanded to include a wide array of |earners, from those just starting in the work force to middle-class families. To |see if you qualify, go to www.projectendeavor.com and click on the Apply tab. Eligibility guidelines can be viewed on that page, and you can also download the |application form.
