Partner Program

Per Scholas is a non-profit organization dedicated to using technology to improve the lives of people in low-income communities. Operating out of locations in the South Bronx and Miami, our vocational training, computer distribution and recycling programs work together to empower children and help adults build living-wage careers. Per Scholas provides environmentally responsible recycling for computer equipment, the best of which is reconditioned and distributed to low-income families at the lowest possible price.
Per Scholas brings computers to low-income children and families at the lowest possible cost, trains community residents to gain employment as computer technicians and provides environmentally responsible recycling of end-of-life computer equipment.
Per Scholas was founded in 1995 by a consortium of leading foundations and corporations to build and distribute computers at a significant discount to schools serving low-income neighborhoods. Its name, derived from the Latin phrase "for schools," reflects the organization's dedication to technology education putting computer equipment and knowledge into the hands of disadvantaged students and families, and the schools and organizations that serve them.
