Some colleges use that as an incentive to get you to enroll there. You wind up paying for it in the long run because they just raise your tuition accordingly. It's a scam.
Dell does give technology only to certified 501.c.3 companies that meet thier criteria and themission of the company. Michael Dell also has his own philanthropic org that gives away money and tech but again, there are pretty stiff criteria that must be met.

Never heard of this. However, school systems and government offices often sell their 'old' systems to recover some costs. For example, we got an old government Dell through a children's charity - paid 230 for the cpu, sony monitor, speakers, and cd burner. However, software can be a problem, so if you go any route like this, buyer beware. We got it a year ago, and it's going to die pretty much anytime now....

i've heard of schools, government agencies, etc selling computers really cheap. i don't really know about "free," but remember you get what you pay for.

I heard there is a college in California that does that, but I have no clue which one.
