What Is E-Rate?
E-Rate is a federal program that helps schools get affordable access to internet and telecommunications services. By providing discounts on eligible technology expenses, E-Rate funding allows private K-12 schools to upgrade their networks, improve digital learning, and connect students and staff with the tools they need.
Who Qualifies?
Most K–12 non-profit private, parochial, and faith-based schools are eligible for E-Rate. Eligibility is determined by your student population and the percentage of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
