Finding Free Laptops for Students

I read on here about going through free cycle. That doesn't work so well here in Indiana. One place we were able to find a free laptop is through the college classifieds online. It wasn't perfect and it was in Chinese, but it had a good system. I enjoyed learning enough Chinese to learn what control panel was.

Another place you could try is the for sale/free or the computer/electronics sections on craigslist. Definitely be careful, but sometimes you can find someone who just wants to get rid of an old computer.

Overseas, they had a program for students where they could get a solar powered laptop. There was a promotion where the company was raising funds to donate them. Also, as far as special needs, Easter Seals has a program for kids who, after evaluation, can get what they need.

One last note, research writing a grant proposal. I know this sounds bad, but if you can afford a smart phone, you can afford a computer.

Hope this helps.

I'm trying to go to college online for teaching and early childhood education. I don't have any money to buy a laptop. How can I go about getting one?

I am in desperate need of help and any assistance available. I have been living at a battered womens shelter with my three children. I have a very old laptop and have been using it for the past month with this new job. The only problem is that it's missing 3 keys and is extremely slow. I have patience, but my school requires deadlines and emails. It is very demanding and I can no longer use that laptop. With this new course, one of the requirements was for me to have my own computer, but this one has gone out of commission. Is there a place that will donate used or refurbished laptops? I am also disabled and I beg of you to please help me out. I don't know where else to go or ask. I pray you will be able to help and if not then God bless you and I would greatly appreciate it if you could refer me to someone that can.

I am attending the University of Phoenix right now. They do not offer a laptop for school. I'm trying to go to school on my phone and I'm having a really hard time. Can somebody please help me with suggestions for finding a laptop? I need one to work on my University of Phoenix online psychology course.

Thank you.

I am asking mainly for a friend. She has 4 children at home, is a single parent, and is working at a minimum wage job. The schools have now gone all computerised thus meaning the children have to access their phones to get their homework and try and do it via phones. This now is becoming very hard for them and their mum is looking for a laptop that the children can use for homework and for her to complete her level three. I know it would be a long shot, but does anyone know of any charities or grant givers that maybe able to help?

Thank you.
