New Emergency Connectivity Fund
Likely to open in June, an additional 45-day federal funding window will be open for school districts and libraries.
Eligible Services
- Broadband equipment (Wi-Fi hotspots, modems and routers)
- Broadband services
- Limited support for off-campus networks
- Connected learning devices (laptops and tablets)
Filing Window
There will be an initial 45-day filing window for schools and libraries to seek reimbursement for eligible purchases made between July 1, 2021, and June 30, 2022. If significant funding remains available, the FCC may decide to open another prospective filing window.
Competitive Bidding
There will be no FCC specific competitive bidding mandates; however, applicants will certify compliance with applicable local, state, and tribal procurement requirements.
Application Process
Discount rate determines who receives funding. For example, rural schools and libraries who qualify for a 90 percent discount rate in the E-Rate program will use a 95 percent discount and receive top priority over their urban counterparts who also qualify for a 90 percent E-Rate discount. If there are insufficient funds available to fund an entire discount band, priority will be given to applicants with the highest percentage of low-income students.
