E-Rate for FY 2023:
USAC issued Wave 10 for FY 2023 on Thursday, June 29th, for $59.4 million. Total funding is now $1.54 billion. At this point, USAC has already funded 83.5% of the originally submitted applications representing 51.8% of the dollars requested.
ECF for 2021-2023:
Total commitments for all three ECF windows are $6.75 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 50% urban band but could go lower if more funding becomes available. We encourage all applicants, which 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.
