Schools and Libraries (E-rate) Program ©2019 Universal Service Administrative Co.

Mission Statement Help ensure that schools and libraries can obtain high- speed internet access and telecommunications at affordable rates, and keep students and library patrons connected to broadband by providing a discount on eligible services. ©2019 Universal Service Administrative Co.

Overview Congress wrote the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which directed the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to establish the E-rate Program and other programs. The FCC issues orders that set rules and policies for the program and gives direction to the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) through orders. USAC is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the E-rate Program. WHO MAKES THE RULES? ©2019 Universal Service Administrative Co.
