The Schools and Libraries Program

Funds For Learning wants to help your school or vendor learn about the E-rate program. Created in 1996 to help fund Internet access for educational groups, it awards over $2 billion a year for Internet related services and products. Sometimes called the Schools and Libraries program, it is available to any public library or school, with the amount received based on how many students get lunch assistance. Funds For Learning provides E-rate consultants who assist both qualifiers and vendors comply to the requirements and regulations set forth by the FCC and USAC.

E-rate Compliance Training Seminars

Seminars are available live or over the Internet. Our E-rate compliance training seminars will help both applicants and vendors gain the maximum benefit from the program with minimal problems.

We can offer specific benefits to both applicants and providers. We also maintain a library of E-rate resources on our web site that both groups will find beneficial. Important forms are available for download and current news articles are posted as well.
