In consultation with Microsoft during 2013/14, nonprofit NFS played a role in the establishment of homeschool students as “Qualified Educational Users” under Microsoft product policies.This allowed NFS to provide academic products and discount laptops to homeschool families at the same price and with the same software as traditional public school facilities. NFS supplies thousands of laptops to public schools and now we do the same for homeschoolers. NFS has assisted over 10,000 families in obtaining and more importantly, maintaining
in-classroom technologies within their home.
