Yes, private, parochial, and independent schools qualify for E-rate. We handle every step of the process, from applications to compliance, so your school gets the funding it deserves without adding a single thing to your staff's plate.
Most private schools leave E-rate money unclaimed. Many don't even know they're eligible, and few have a staff member with time to manage the paperwork. We handle every deadline and requirement so you don't have to.
We review your current technology setup, past filings, and eligible services to identify every dollar your school qualifies for, including whether you're eligible at all. You probably are.
We post your Form 470, manage the competitive bidding window, and evaluate vendor responses to select the most cost-effective option.
We prepare and submit your funding application with full documentation, minimizing the risk of USAC review or denial.
We review your Funding Commitment Decision Letter, notify you of award amounts, and file Form 486 to activate your discount.
We manage BEAR or SPI invoicing and keep your records audit-ready so you're prepared if USAC ever comes knocking.
One point of contact for every form, deadline, and funding question across your school's entire E-rate program.
Full posting and bidding administration to meet FCC requirements and attract qualified vendors.
Accurate, well-documented funding applications for Category 1 and Category 2 services.
We respond to USAC's Program Integrity Assurance questions quickly and correctly to protect your funding.
We analyze your commitment letters and walk your team through every approved and denied item.
Service confirmation filing handled on time, every time, so your discounts activate without delay.
BEAR and SPI invoice management plus documentation practices that keep you compliant year-round.
We're not a software platform. We're dedicated partners who have worked through every E-rate scenario and know how to get results for smaller schools.
We don't split focus across other programs. E-rate is all we do, which means deep expertise on every form and deadline.
You'll always know where your application stands. We reach out before issues become problems.
Every filing is built to withstand USAC review. We document everything and follow program rules to the letter.
We identify every eligible service and Category 2 budget dollar your school is entitled to. Nothing left behind.
We've managed the full E-rate lifecycle for private and independent schools across the country: Forms 470, 471, 486, PIA reviews, FCDLs, and invoicing. When you work with E-Rate Path, you work directly with the consultant handling your filings.
