How E-Rate Works in New Hampshire

The E-Rate program subsidizes broadband and telecom for schools and libraries at discounts of 20–90% based on poverty level and rurality.

Step 1: Post Form 470

New Hampshire schools and libraries post a Form 470 to open a 28-day competitive bidding window, inviting service providers to submit proposals for broadband and telecom services.

Step 2: Submit Form 471

After selecting a vendor, the entity submits a Form 471 during the USAC application window (typically January–March). Each funding request line item receives a unique FRN for tracking.

Step 3: Receive Funding

USAC reviews the application through PIA (Program Integrity Assurance). Committed FRNs receive an FCDL (Funding Commitment Decision Letter), and service providers invoice USAC directly or the applicant files BEAR forms.
