Computer Scholarships
OTI co-sponsors Computer Scholarships for disadvantaged students. Without access to a home computer, many students are unable to complete their coursework. Some disadvantaged students are single mothers who work full time, go to school, rely on public transportation and raise their children. Many disadvantaged students rely on crowded computer labs, friends, libraries and other means to complete course assignments. Receiving a computer can have a significant positive impact on their lives and the lives of those who depend on them.

Computers donated to OTI's Computer Donations Program are refurbished by OTI's CompTechS interns and staff.
Students are selected by the Financial Aid Office at DeAnza or Foothill Colleges to receive a refurbished computer through a simple application process. Depending on availability, students receive a desktop or laptop computer.
- Scholarship awards include 1 hour of technical support to properly set-up their computer.
- Once the student accepts the computer, it cannot be exchanged for another model.
- Computers are not guaranteed for any length of time.
OTI cannot take responsibility for the condition of any computer equipment once the student accepts it.
To apply for a computer, contact the Financial Aid Office at DeAnza Financial Aid or Foothill Financial Aid.
To donate a computer, please read the Computer Donation page for information on hardware and software specifications.
