This year, there are different packages available for purchase. Please reference the online application page for the current available package offerings. Please note that there are three options for delivery.

  1. If you would like for the computer to be delivered directly to your home, there is a $40 charge for laptops and a $50 charge for desktops. Families who choose this delivery option will have their order shipped when it is ready, roughly 3 weeks from date of order.

  2. If you would like the device shipped to your child’s school there is a $20 delivery charge. If you choose this shipping option, the computer will be delivered to your child's school after the end of the promotion period. Please indicate the name of the school on the form when selecting this option.

  3. You may choose to pick up the computer from the RCT Mississauga Warehouse, for free, located at 945 Meyerside Drive, Mississauga. Families who choose this option will have their order ready for pick up roughly 3 weeks after the date of order.

Parents and legal guardians may apply for one computer per student, with a limit of two per household. Please see below for a full list of device specifications.
