Choosing a UCaaS Solution is a Long Term Communications Strategy That Schools and Libraries are Getting Behind with E-Rate Funding

 

E-Rate funding is a commonly used name for the Schools and Libraries Program of the Universal Service Fund, administered by Universal Service Administrative Company under the direction of the FCC.

The E-rate program allows eligible K-12 schools and libraries in the United States to obtain affordable telecommunications and internet access. Discounts for support depend on the level of poverty and the urban/rural status of the population served and range from 20% to 90% off of the cost of eligible services.

Now more than ever, schools are looking to take advantage of E-Rate funding and move to a VoIP-based solution that provides quality, security and reliability without breaking budget.
