E-Rate for FY 2023:
USAC issued Wave 9 for FY 2023 on Thursday, June 22nd, for $58.9 million. Total funding is now $1.48 billion. At this point, USAC has already funded 81.7% of the originally submitted applications representing 49.7% of the dollars requested.
ECF for 2021-2023:
Total commitments for all three ECF windows are $6.72 billion. USAC has funded approximately 89% of the ECF applications representing 69% of the requested funding.
Window 3 applications are being funded down to the 60% urban band but could go lower if more funding becomes available. We encourage all applicants, that have been funded beyond their actual needs, to file Post-Commitment Requests (“PCRs”) to reduce their funding commitments and free up dollars for other needy ECF applicants.
