E-rate works by providing discounts to eligible schools and libraries on eligible telecommunication services, internet access, and related equipment. The program is funded through the Universal Service Fund, which is supported by fees collected from telecommunications providers. Schools and libraries apply for discounts based on their level of need, and the program prioritizes support for those in underserved or economically disadvantaged areas. Once approved, participating institutions receive funding to offset the costs of eligible services and equipment, helping them to improve their technological infrastructure and enhance educational opportunities for students and communities.
