e-Rate: Universal Service Discount Program for Schools and Libraries

Untitled Document
As a result of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted an Order on May 8, 1997, creating the E-rate program to ensure that schools and libraries have affordable access to advanced telecommunications services. Under the program, discounts ranging from 20% to 90% on Telecommunications Services, Internet Access, and Internal Connections are provided to eligible schools and libraries, subject to a $2.25 billion annual cap.
 
Since 1998, Michigan's schools and libraries have received millions of dollars in E-rate discounts. For official E-rate guidance, visit the SLD's website at www.sl.universalservice.org, or, for Michigan-specific and unofficial advice, visit the helpful links located below.
