Why hire eRate Program, LLC?

Our fees are affordable

  • Our fees are affordable and all inclusive, with no hidden extras.
  • In fact, it is less expensive to hire us than do the work yourself!

No-Obligation E-rate Benefit Analysis

  • We give every potential client a no-obligation E-rate Benefit Analysis, showing their projected E-Rate results and our fees.
  • We review our clients’ previous years’ filings and vigorously pursue recovery of any undisbursed E-Rate funds from prior years.

Experienced, knowledgeable staff to guide you through the process

  • Our staff has over 70 years of combined E-Rate experience, including 14 years as school district Director of Technology and 10 years experience managing reviews and USAC appeals.
  • We can sometimes increase the amount of E-Rates received by clients, helping reduce the net cost of our services.
  • Because our 1,100 clients include Public Districts, Private and Charter schools, and alternative Education providers in 41 states, we bring great creativity and diversity to the pre-filing analysis of our clients’ needs and data.
  • We are strong proponents of filing early for our clients. Filing early reduces or eliminates “E-Rate panic” experienced by 2/3 of all E-Rate applicants.
  • We effectively manage multiple years of filing/funding for our clients, including appeals and recovery of undisbursed funds from prior years.
  • We represent only applicants, and have no relationships with vendors.
