E-Rate/Rural Healthcare Assistance

Making technology affordable for schools, libraries and healthcare facilities.

Technology to transform the way we learn and work

Put students and medical professionals on a path to success with technology services that fit within your budget. The E-Rate/Rural Healthcare programs can help by providing affordable access to telecommunications for all eligible K-12 public schools, private schools, healthcare facilities and public libraries, particularly those in rural and inner-city areas.

 

The E-Rate/Rural Healthcare programs are provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, historically funded at up to $2.5 billion annually to provide discounts in three categories: internet access, basic maintenance and internal connections hardware.


Learn more about the E-Rate/Rural Healthcare programs and view eligible products and services on the Universal Service Administration Company's website.
