Past winners and funding trends for this program
Emergency Connectivity Fund Program is sponsored by FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION. In section 7402 of the American Rescue Plan Act (Act), Congress established a $7.171 billion Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF) in the U.S. Treasury and directed the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) not later than 60 days after enactment of the Act to promulgate rules providing for the distribution of ECF support to eligible schools and libraries for the purchase of eligible equipment and/or advanced telecommunications and information services for use by students, school staff, and library patrons at locations including locations other than a school or library. On May 10, 2021, the FCC adopted a Report and Order entitled Establishing the Emergency Connectivity Fund to Close the Homework Gap, WC Docket No. 21-93, Report and Order, FCC 21-58 (2021) (Report and Order). The Report and Order established the Emergency Connectivity Fund Program (ECF Program), which is funded through the ECF. The ECF Program rules became effective upon publication of the Report and Order in the Federal Register on May 28, 2021. ECF Program support was first made available to eligible schools and libraries applying for funds for the purchases of eligible equipment, including Wi-Fi hotspots, modems, routers, and connected devices, as well as advanced telecommunications and information services, to meet the remote learning needs of students, school staff, and library patrons who would otherwise lack access to connected devices and/or broadband connections sufficient to engage in remote learning during the 2021-2022 school year. On April 28, 2022, the FCC opened the third and final application filing window, during which eligible schools and libraries were able to submit requests for funding to purchase eligible equipment and up to 12 months of recurring services to be provided between July 1, 2022, and December 31, 2023 for students, school staff, and library patrons with unmet needs. Because demand exceeded available funds, applications received during the third filing window will be prioritized to fund schools and libraries with the greatest need first, with a preference for schools and libraries located in rural areas pursuant to the Commission’s rules.

Cybersecurity Pilot Program is sponsored by FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION. As broadband connectivity and Internet access have become essential for K-12 students and adults, the security and safety of networks and data has become of vital importance. Although broadband connectivity and Internet access can simplify and enhance the education and daily lives of K-12 students, school staff, and library patrons, they can also be used by malicious actors to steal personal information, compromise online accounts, and cause online personal harm or embarrassment. In response to the growing importance of cybersecurity to broadband connectivity and Internet access for K-12 schools and libraries, and in light of the increase in cyberattacks to disrupt or disable these critical networks, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) established the Schools and Libraries Cybersecurity pilot program (Pilot or Pilot Program), a three-year pilot program within the Universal Service Fund (USF or Fund) to provide up to $200 million to defray the costs of eligible cybersecurity services and equipment for schools, libraries, and consortia of schools and libraries. Eligible schools, libraries, and consortia comprised of schools and libraries selected to participate in the Pilot Program may request and receive support through the Pilot Program to purchase a wide range of eligible cybersecurity services and equipment that best suit their particular needs, subject to budget ceilings, budget floors and per-student and per-library multipliers. During this short-term Pilot Program, the Commission will gather key data on the types of cybersecurity services and equipment that K-12 schools and libraries need to protect their broadband networks and data, and ensure that students, school staff, and library patrons are able to connect to advanced communications that are integral to education. Data and information collected through this Pilot Program may also aid in the considerations of broader efforts across the government to help schools and libraries address their cybersecurity concerns.

COVID-19 Telehealth Program is sponsored by FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION. In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, communities and health care providers are turning to telemedicine to enable social distancing measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. As a result, many health care providers are expanding existing telehealth services and implementing new telehealth services, and the demand for connected care services provided directly to patients in their homes or mobile locations is skyrocketing. In response, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020, provided, among a panoply of other actions, $200 million to the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) to support health care providers in the fight against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The FCC, to effectuate Congress’ intent in enacting the CARES Act, established a COVID-19 Telehealth Program (Program) to distribute an appropriated budget of $200 million to help eligible health care providers maximize their provision of connected care services during the COVID-19 pandemic. To build on the success of Round 1 of the Commission’s COVID-19 Telehealth Program, in the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021, Congress appropriated an additional $249.95 million for this Program (Round 2). First, Congress directed the Commission to seek comment on the “metrics the Commission should use to evaluate applications for funding” and “how the Commission should treat applications filed during the funding rounds for awards from the [Program] using amounts appropriated under the CARES Act . . . .” Second, it instructed the Commission, to the extent feasible, to ensure that at least one applicant from all 50 states and the District of Columbia is awarded funds during either of the Program’s funding rounds. Third, the Consolidated Appropriations Act directed the Commission to allow applicants from Round 1 the opportunity to update or amend their applications. This listing is currently active.
