Apple Gives Free iPad Pro to Students and Faculty at Gallaudet University

Apple has provided a free iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, and Smart Keyboard Folio to every student and faculty member at Gallaudet University. The company announced the donation in a press release today.

With iPad Pro, Gallaudet marks the next chapter in its mission to offer students the knowledge and practical skills vital to achieving personal and professional success. It’s also a core component of Connected Gallaudet, an initiative that consists of three imperatives in the university’s strategic plan: equity and belonging, bilingual mission, and innovation.

“We are grateful to Apple for entering into this exciting collaboration with us, and for its support in so many other ways,” says Roberta J. Cordano, president of Gallaudet University. “While Connected Gallaudet was in the works even before the novel coronavirus pandemic, it has become transformational for us as we moved entirely online for the fall semester.”


Gallaudet University was founded in 1864 with 8 students who were deaf. It has now become the premier higher education institution for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community with over two thousand students and faculty members.
