The E-Rate (Education Rate) program is an FCC program administered through the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), a not-for-profit corporation designated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), through the Universal Service Fund. The E-Rate program provides discounts for telecommunications, Internet access, and internal connections to eligible schools and libraries. Discounts range from 20 to 90 percent and are based on the poverty level of the schools.
An eligible school or library identifies goods or services it needs and submits a request for competitive bids. USAC posts the School’s bid requests on the E-Rate Productivity Center (EPC) portal for vendors to bid on. Vendors reply to the request for bids. Bids chosen by the schools/libraries are then submitted to USAC for approval/funding.
Eligible Services include:
- Category One
- Data Transmission Services and/or Internet Access
- Category Two
- Internal Connections (IC)
- Managed Internal Broadband Services (MIBS)
- Basic Maintenance of Internal Connections (BMIC)
