E-Rate Path manages the entire E-rate cycle for private, parochial, and independent K-12 schools: eligibility, competitive bidding, filing, and funding, so your business office never has to learn USAC's forms.
We confirm your school qualifies and estimate available discount and funding.
We post your request, run a compliant bidding process, and evaluate vendor responses.
We file your funding request accurately and on time, no missed windows.
We answer USAC review questions on your behalf until a funding decision is issued.
We confirm service delivery and handle invoicing so reimbursement actually arrives.
End to end handling of Category 1 (internet/WAN) and Category 2 (internal connections) funding, every year.
Never filed before? We register your school in EPC and build your filing from a blank slate.
Switching from another consultant or doing it in-house? We take over cleanly, no gap in compliance.
USAC review, COMAD, or an appeal in progress? We respond with the documentation USAC needs.
We work exclusively with private, parochial, and independent schools, not municipalities or public districts, so every recommendation fits your governance and budget reality.
Flat-fee pricing. You know the cost before we start, and it does not scale with the size of your funding request.
One person handles your account from the eligibility check through the final invoice. No hand-offs, no re-explaining your situation.
E-Rate Path exists because most E-rate consultants are built around large public districts. Private and independent schools have smaller staffs, different governance, and different questions. We built our process around that from day one.
