Education Rate, more commonly known as E-Rate, is a federal program that provides technology discounts for internet access, networking, and associated services for eligible schools. E-Rate can have a direct, positive impact on teaching and learning for your school. However, understanding what your school is eligible for and how to apply e-Rate funding can be confusing, and we’re here to help.
Approximately $4 Billion dollars are allocated to E-Rate for schools each year. Don’t let your funding expire! Join our webinar and get a better understanding of E-Rate and how to maximize your school’s funding. We will help you answer questions like:

- Does E-Rate cover more than just internet?
- Can you use E-Rate funding to replace outdated equipment such as firewalls, switches, and cabling?
- Can you use E-Rate funding to upgrade your Wi-Fi network?
