Chromebook Distribution Program
Trinity has established the Trinity Chromebook Distribution Program to facilitate distribution of Chromebooks to students who are in need of access to technology. Students must be enrolled for the current semester to be eligible to apply. We have a limited supply of Chromebooks available for distribution, therefore first priority will be given to full time undergraduate students who have no other access to technology. Please see current information on availability at: https://discover.trinitydc.edu/student-affairs/chromebook-program/
