MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Known as the 'digital divide,' millions of Americans still struggle having reliable access to the internet on a daily basis. 

In Milwaukee, a communications company did its part to help narrow that gap. 

AT&T alongside Compudot, provided 50 refurbished laptops to students attending Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC). 

The school's president, Anthony Cruz, believes this donation will go a long way towards success in the classroom. 

"Any time you can get a laptop and be able to do your classwork wherever you are is a great help to our students," said Cruz. 

Laptops weren't the only donation the school received. 

AT&T also announced they would be contributing $25,000 to MATC's Integrated Education and Training program.
