1 Million Project - A Message from Paul Marcarelli
America ’ s students are facing a ‘ homework gap .’
There are an estimated 5mn families in the United States with students who do not have access to the internet at home . With 70 % of teachers now assigning internet-based homework , these students do whatever it takes to get connected . They go to hotels , restaurants and other businesses
to use Wi-Fi , wait in long lines at the library , or stand outside a school at night or early morning trying to get a Wi-Fi signal on their phone .
Through the 1Million Project , Sprint and the Sprint Foundation will provide free wireless connectivity and a free device during high school to 1mn lowincome high school students who don ’ t have home internet access .
