As part of the Training Fund’s commitment to provide our members with digital access, we are partnering with Eduscape to provide laptops to Training Fund members who are approved for Tuition Assistance, or who are currently enrolled in a Professional Development Program, beginning Apr 01, 2022.
Simply request your Chromebook by clicking the “Request a Laptop” button and filling out the form, and Eduscape will ship your device directly to you.
The duration of the laptop loan is not intended to exceed 90 days or approved Training Fund program. Extensions may be granted for one term (or 90 days for short-term programs). Training Fund staff will work with you to overcome barriers and create a plan for a permanent solution.
At the conclusion of the program, the laptop will need to be returned to Eduscape.
