Low-Cost Internet for Students

In today’s world, having access to reliable internet is critical for students – especially during the time of virtual learning. However, not all students have equal access to internet at home.

In fact, 15% of school-aged children in the United States do not have broadband internet access at home. Due to COVID-19, it’s imperative that students find ways to break this digital divide during distance learning.

To learn more about the discounted internet service options available to low-income students, including how much internet students actually need, check out this guide.

Discounted Museums Admission

As an EBT cardholder in Pennsylvania, you also get discounted or FREE access to museums and other great family-friendly places. We have compiled the list below for your convenience.

The Pennsylvania Museums listed below all offer individual admission fees ranging from FREE to $3.00 to individuals and families who have an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, and a valid form of photo ID.

The offer covers up to four individuals per EBT card, which means that if you have a family of 4, you can use your Pennsylvania EBT card to get the special discounted rate or the free admission for all four members.

These rates are available during all normal operating hours. We advise that you call the museum first before you go – so that you can find out what their special rate is for EBT Cardholders (whether it’s free admission or $3).
