Acer was the only provider that classified in all four PC categories for 2014 due to its outstanding track record in this program, strong offerings across a range of PC types, product quality, competitive value, and local service and support.

“I Select My PC” has been offered to students from vulnerable socio-economic segments in Chile since 2008 and was designed to bridge the digital divide and provide these students with new opportunities. This is Acer’s fourth year of providing PCs for this program, and its products were selected by nearly 75 percent of participating students for 2014.

“It is Acer’s fourth consecutive year participating in ‘I Select My PC’ and we’re so proud of the great results we’ve seen from the students who have been touched by this wonderful program,” said Emmanuel Fromont, president of Acer Pan America.

“This program gives deserving students access to technology, which in turn gives them great new opportunities and significantly enhances their lives.”

“I Select My PC” program recipients are selected from 40 percent of the most vulnerable schools in Chile, and the awards are based on these students’ outstanding academic capabilities and future leadership potential. Once selected, the students are free to decide what type of computer and brand they prefer, with the program offering one or two brands per category. The PCs are fully funded by the JUNAEB and Chile Education Ministry, with the chosen students paying nothing to participate.

The selected students will receive their Acer PC starting in March, 2015.
