Stories from NTIA’s Office of Minority Broadband Initiatives and the Connecting Minority Communities Pilot Program

The Connecting Minority Communities Pilot (CMC) Program is a $268 million grant program to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), and Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) for the purchase of broadband internet access service and eligible equipment or to hire and train information technology personnel. The funding received by the colleges and universities allows these institutions of higher learning to positively impact the broadband capacity of their campuses, students and faculty, and surrounding anchor communities, assisting to close the digital divide and provide Internet for All. This webinar will feature CMC grantees discussing lessons they have learned in implementing these grants and the impact the programs have made on the communities they are in.
