Who pays for the NFS computers?
Different schools have used different methods of funding an NFS program. A wide variety of financing models exist, including grants, leasing, renting, and outright purchase. The ideal model is the model that best fits the needs and resources of school and the community. Toshiba recommends that parents and/or students participate in the cost of the program either through outright purchase, through personal lease, or by renting the unit from the school or purchasing authority. This personal investment significantly increases the sense of value, and tends to more fully engage the parent in the child’s education.
