On May 7, 1997, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted a Universal Service Fund Order implementing the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The law and subsequent Order's intent was to facilitate affordable access to modern telecommunications and information services for eligible schools and libraries. The program, known as Education Rate or E-Rate makes up to $2.25 billion annually available to provide discounts on eligible services to schools and libraries.

Eligible non-profit schools and libraries may receive discounts ranging from 20 percent to 90 percent on eligible telecommunication services, depending on economic need and location (urban or rural).

The erate mailing list (formerly minwg-share) contains questions you and others may have about the Universal Service Fund. For more information, visit the Merit erate webpages.
