Grant Overview
Utah’s digital-divide metrics show that 19 percent of households with school-age children in the Uintah Basin and parts of the Wasatch Back lack fixed broadband subscriptions meeting the FCC 25/3 Mbps threshold. Barrier_first structure therefore starts with this infrastructure gap rather than program intent.
H2: State-Specific Barrier
After-school programs in these counties cannot rely on cloud-based platforms without first securing either mobile hotspots or physical computer labs. Colleges must document the number of participating students who will require loaned equipment and the locations where connectivity will be provided.
H2: Who Faces This Barrier Locally
Hispanic and Native American youth in the Four Corners region and in Salt Lake County’s west-side neighborhoods experience the highest rates of device and connectivity scarcity. Institutions must disaggregate participation data by these groups to demonstrate that the $10,000 investment reaches the populations with the lowest baseline access.
H2: How Funding Addresses the Barrier
Allowable expenditures include bulk purchase of refurbished laptops, one-year mobile-hotspot subscriptions, and stipends for local tech-firm employees who provide on-site technical support. Quarterly equipment-inventory reports are required by the Utah Department of Technology Services.
Unlike Colorado or Idaho applications, Utah requires explicit documentation of Uintah Basin and west-side Salt Lake County connectivity gaps and corresponding equipment-loan plans.
