博彩平台正在帮助2021年秋季新生，转学和继续本科学生实现计算机所有权。

The Hornet Laptop Discount Program is the University’s latest effort to ensure that students have the tools they need to thrive academically.

“In this digital world, having appropriate technology to access coursework and material, participate in class, and work with student colleagues is crucial for our students’ success,” said Steve Perez, provost and vice president for 学术事务.

“As we adapt and change as a result of the pandemic, it has become even more so. This program will enable students to have the opportunity to ensure they have the necessary technology.”

通过该计划购买的设备起价为599美元。 符合条件的新生和转学生在2021年秋季注册至少六个单元，可以申请一次性600美元的HEERF折扣，用于通过大黄蜂书店购买戴尔或苹果笔记本电脑的费用。 继续读本科的学生可以申请250美元的折扣。

依靠联邦佩尔助学金支付教育费用的学生有资格获得额外的300美元HEERF折扣，他们可以申请销售税或延长保修。

Starting Monday, Aug. 2, students can visit the Hornet Bookstore in person 或在线 to take advantage of the discount.

“This is about equity, and we want to be sure that students who have need will have enough money to get the equipment that best suits them,” said Mark Hendricks, interim vice president and chief information officer for Information Resources and Technology.

大约有7800名一年级和转学生有资格获得折扣。 资金来自《冠状病毒援助、救济和安全（关怀）法案》授权的联邦高等教育紧急救济基金（HEERF）。

The new discount program builds on the 笔记本电脑贷款项目IRT扩大 after the COVID-19 pandemic led to a  campus shutdown in March 2020. IRT的库存中已经有近600台外借笔记本电脑，但又购买了1,930台电脑和2,100个Wi-Fi热点，供远程工作和学习的学生、教职员工使用。

目前有1300多台笔记本电脑被借出。

继续读本科和研究生的学生可以在大黄蜂书店申请250美元的HEERF折扣，以购买一台符合条件的笔记本电脑。 Students can look up their discount before selecting a laptop by calling or visiting the Hornet Bookstore in person 或在线.

除了HEERF特别折扣外，学生还可以选择将任何剩余余额申请到学生账户中，最高可达2,000美元，通过书店贷款计划偿还。

“All these initiatives are about student success,” University President Robert S. Nelsen said.

“We want every student who needs a laptop to have an opportunity to choose the best option for them. 有些学生可能对贷款感到满意； 其他学生可能想拥有一台电脑。 Either way, all students have a choice.”
