The NEU PC Plus Programme offers students and persons with disabilities from low income households the opportunity to own a brand new computer at an affordable price.
PC-Bundle Scheme
The PC-Bundle scheme offers a two tier subsidy. Successful applicants can own a new computer with free software and three years of free subscription to broadband services. They will only need to pay a sum starting from $146 for a desktop or $214 for a laptop.
iNSPIRE Fund
For those who are unable to co-pay for the computer applied under PC-Bundle scheme, the iNSPIRE Fund scheme will offers financial assistance to full-time students (aged 25 and below) with another option. Successful applicants will render between 6 to 24 hours of community service, depending on the type of computer model, to receive a fully-paid desktop/laptop.
Broadband-Only Scheme
The Broadband-Only scheme offers broadband access at a subsidised rate to households that already own computers but are unable to afford broadband subscriptions. The rate will be $1.50 per month for 36 months and applicants will receive 1 Mbps of unlimited broadband access.
