Golden Plains Receives FRED Technology Grant
 Evidence continues to mount about the importance of technology, especially for rural areas to participate in the global community. As much good as technology does for a business, it has an even greater impact in the schools. Nex-Tech has a long history of supporting local schools, with equipment and services, as well as cash donations. One other way Nex-Tech can help a school is by writing a letter of nomination for grant opportunities available through the telecommunications industry.
When Golden Plains USD #316 applied for such a grant in 2011, Nex-Tech provided the required nomination letter. FRED, in cooperation with the Rural Telephone Finance Cooperative (RTFC) created the Technology Grants for Rural Schools program to help meet the need for innovative technology in the classroom. They award grants in the range of $1,000-$5,000.

RED FLAG! You don't know this company, they want money upfront and they are asking for your credit card information. These are classic indicators of a scam.
