E-Rate program, a federal funded subsidy, provides discounts to eligible schools and libraries for purchasing telecommunication services, Internet Access and in some cases technology hardware to support these services. This program is administered by the Schools and Libraries Division (SLD) under the direction of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC).
Members of our sales and technical team have been participating in the E-Rate program since 1999. CherryRoad keeps abreast of all FCC & USAC program changes, participates in USAC-sponsored training, and provides ongoing guidance to our clients throughout the process once the competitive bidding process has been completed.
