Task Troopers Free Laptop Program (FLP)
Official Policy, Terms, and Conditions of Participation
I. Purpose
The Task Troopers Free Laptop Program (FLP) exists to reduce educational technology disparities by providing eligible students with access to a functional laptop for academic purposes. The Program is designed to serve students who lack the financial ability to obtain a personal computer that is necessary for schoolwork, research, communication, and continued academic progress.
II. Program Eligibility
Applicants must meet the following criteria:
The applicant must be a student enrolled in elementary school, middle school, high school, or an accredited college or university at the time of application.
The applicant must demonstrate a legitimate and verifiable need for a laptop due to insufficient access to a functioning computer within the household.
Priority consideration will be given to students without reliable access to any working computer in their home.
Task Troopers does not discriminate against any applicant on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or any other protected status.
III. Laptop Donation and Refurbishment
Task Troopers accepts laptop donations from individuals, corporations, educational institutions, and other organizations.
All donated devices become the property of Task Troopers at the time of donation.
Every device is securely wiped, restored, inspected, and refurbished by Task Troopers volunteers or authorized partners prior to redistribution.
Task Troopers reserves the right to determine whether a donated device meets minimum operational standards.
IV. Application and Review Process
Applicants or their legal guardians must submit a Laptop Request Form available at www.tasktroopers.org/laptop

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis based on need and device availability.
Task Troopers may request additional documentation to confirm eligibility.
