Grants Provide Access to Virtual Learning for more than 350,000 Students

As virtual learning continues, many students across the country are still in need of internet access and computers to complete school work. To help meet this need, the Toyota USA Foundation approved grants totaling $3,357,000 to support students in 13 states where the company has operations.

The grants will fund WiFi access points, mobile WiFi devices, laptop computers and software licenses, helping more than 350,000 students access virtual learning.

'All students deserve equal access to education,' said Mike Goss, president, Toyota USA Foundation. 'The foundation typically supports STEM, but the pandemic has exposed deeper issues that are a barrier to good education.'

The grants build upon Toyota's ongoing COVID-19 relief efforts, prior foundation grants focused on e-learning programs and hunger, and the recent launch of an education hub that includes virtual field trips of the company's operations.

Approved grants will benefit:
