The Ho-Chunk Nation is the “payer of last resort”. Therefore, applicants must seek assistance from other funding
sources, such as their area Johnson-O’Malley Program or program scholarships, prior to applying for the COVID-19
Relief Response IASS Program.
COVID-19 RESPONSE RELIEF INTERENT ACCESS SUPPORT SERVICES
NEW CUSTOMERS
Description: Assistance is available for the payment or reimbursement for the cost of internet
access for students in grades K-12 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and remote learning
requirement. This grant will provide payment or reimbursement for the costs associated with
the initial installation of internet equipment and the monthly service cost (may include fees and
taxes) for the months of March-June, 2020. This is for internet services only and does not apply
to cable and satellite services, cell phones, and land lines. The bills and agreement must be in
the name of the parent/guardian and not the Ho-Chunk Nation. This grant is limited to one
household through one internet service provider regardless of the number of eligible
students in the household.

responsibility of the parent/guardian. It is his/her responsibility to disconnect the service if it is
no longer needed or desired.
