Schools and Libraries of the Universal Service Fund, known as “E-rate” Steve Vaughn EA 1208 EDLD 5352 Lamar University
Schools and Libraries Program of the Universal Service Fund What is it?  This is a federally mandated program that ensures affordable information services and telecommunications for schools and libraries in America. This program was mandated in 1996.
Benefits This program provides monetary support for schools and libraries to install things such as Internet access, telecommunications and internal network connections. This program is designed to give discounts on equipment and services to schools and libraries with rates being determined by the socioeconomic status of the students in the community.
So, How does it work? First, a school or library must develop a plan. Second, They must notify the FCC that they seek services. Third, vendors get involved in a bidding process to provide the services. After a vendor is selected the school or library files the proper paperwork to get approval for the services. Fourth, The application is approved and funding is provided to reimburse the vendor.
But how is the program paid for? Who really pays the bills? The program is funded through interstate and international telecommunications revenues that the end-user pays. In other words, we all do.
How do I know if my school or library is receiving this funding and service? You can go to this web site and find out www.universalservice.org/sl/
