Why Hire an E-Rate Consultant?

Applying for E-Rate funding can feel overwhelming. The program is complex, highly detailed, and stretches across an 18-month cycle each fiscal year. That’s where an experienced E-Rate consultant can make all the difference.

Here are a few key reasons schools choose to work with consultants:

• Maximize Funding – Consultants often secure higher awards by ensuring every eligible service is included and properly documented.
• Streamlined Process – From application to installation to disbursement, a consultant helps manage each step and prevent costly errors or delays.
• Proven Expertise – Nationally, about 66% of E-Rate applications are prepared by consultants who know the process inside and out.
• Strategic Support – Beyond paperwork, consultants work with vendors to design stronger Internet connections (Category 1) and more reliable internal networks (Category 2).
