Welcome to the E-Rate Eligibility Helpdesk

E-rate Modernization = Unprecedented Opportunity for Applicants

The E-rate program offers $8 billion in category 2 discounts to K-12 schools and libraries over the 5-year budget cycle. Because of the E-rate Modernization Order and the additional funds, it is now possible for all schools and libraries that qualify for the E-rate program to use some funding for their digital initiatives.
