This Saturday, April 1, registration for the Free Student Internet Connection program for higher level students. Those interested in this benefit granted by the Government of the province of Córdoba, may register until May 31 inclusive.
Those who carry out the procedure in the month of April will receive the benefit from May and so on.
The objective of the initiative is to guarantee young people access to the Internet, as a tool to shorten the digital divide and promote inclusive, equitable and quality education, the provincial government said.
In addition, it will favor the teaching-learning processes of the beneficiaries, allowing them to complement the study texts, access different sources of information and internalize themselves in various platforms relevant to the training instances.
The Blind will reach students up to 25 years old, of the tertiary or university levels of public educational institutions of state management and private management (with state contribution from the province of Córdoba).
It will also include students from private universities located in the province who obtained scholarships for a percentage equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the fees, tariffs or any other concept received by said educational institutions for the provision of the educational service.
The benefit will be reflected through the contribution of 1,000 non-cumulative monthly pesos, which will be deposited in the Taca Taca virtual wallet, of the Banco de la Provincia de Córdoba. From there it will be possible to know the balance and carry out credit/giga recharges on cell phones. Recharges made from other apps or payment systems will not be considered valid.
It should be noted that the benefit is non-transferable. If it is detected that the balance top-ups were made to a telephone number other than the one declared and/or use not in accordance with what was declared in the beneficiary’s registration, no more balance top-ups will be made in that account.
What are the requirements to access the Blind
In order to access the program, the student must complete the Single Applicant Form (FUP) on the CiDi platform (must have Level 2). At the time of carrying out the FUP, the address declared by the student will be taken into account, not the one that appears on their ID.
If there are one or more applicants over the age of 18 in the group living with siblings who were previously registered because they belong to the secondary level, the registration is the responsibility of the mother/father or guardian. In this case, parents/guardians who have more than one dependent child will be granted the benefit multiplied by the number of declared beneficiaries. That is, one virtual wallet per family group.
Once registered, the Government of Córdoba will notify the modality of access to each beneficiary and will make the contribution in the Taca Taca virtual wallet of Banco de Córdoba.
