Purpose-built tools for schools and libraries that want complete visibility into their E-Rate applications, budgets, and deadlines — without the complexity.

Application Dashboard

See all your E-Rate applications at a glance. Track funded, pending, and denied amounts with real-time data pulled directly from USAC. The dashboard provides a centralized view of every Form 471 you've filed, organized by funding year, with color-coded status indicators so you can instantly see where each request stands in the review pipeline.

FRN Status Monitoring

Get instant notifications when your Funding Request Number status changes. From pending to funded to denied — you'll know first. SkyRate AI continuously monitors USAC data feeds and alerts you the moment any of your FRNs move through the review process, so you can respond quickly to requests for information or plan next steps on denied items.
