Discount Calculations

Every eligible school qualifies for a 20 percent discount on approved services. The level of discount for schools and libraries is based upon their level of eligibility in the federal free and reduced lunch program.

You can determine your school/district designation (rural or urban) by checking the Rural/Urban Classifications on The Universal Service Administrative Website .
