These include: Anderson College, Anderson, SC, Bacone College, Muskogee, OK, Bartlesville Wesleyan College, Bartlesville, OK, Caldwell College, Caldwell, NJ, Erksine College, Due West, SC, Lon Morris College, Jacksonville, TX, Park College, Parkville, MO, Schreiner College, Kerrville, TX, University of Charleston, Charleston, WV and Ursuline College, Pepper Pike, OH. Each of the institutions funded will connect to the Internet using service providers in within their respective areas.

The connection will benefit the faculty, staff students of these institutions as well as the community in general.
