E-rate Funding Year 2026 is Underway

Update your EPC Profile now. Some checks you want to make are:

  • Ensure that the entity type for each of your schools, libraries, and non-instructional facilities (NIFs) is accurate.
  • Confirm the names and addresses for all of your entities and NIFs, and let USAC know if any have closed or if you expect to add any new entities for the upcoming funding year.
  • Schools should carefully review their student counts, including National School Lunch Program (NSLP) information.
    • KSDE Data Central has been updated and counts for Free and Reduced Lunch for 2023-2024 are now available.
  • Libraries should confirm their square footage, as well as the school district in which their main branch is located.

All applicants should review the "Connectivity" questions in their profile if they have made changes to their network or have a different opinion on the sufficiency of their network.
