E-Rate
Welcome to Nebraska Department of Education’s E-Rate
Funding Year 2026 is the first of the 5-year Category 2 budget.
EPC Admin Window opened on October 15, 2025 and will close in early January 2026. This means all changes to your entity will need to be made during this time period.
Now is a good time to review your service contracts for expiration dates. If a contract ends on June 30, 2026, you will need to file an FCC Form 470 to initiate the competitive bidding process for services starting in the 2026–27 academic year.
