FY2026 E-Rate Form 471 Trainings Scheduled – Reminder

February 8, 2026

This is a reminder that if you haven’t yet submitted your Form 471, or need a refresher, please join me for Form 471 Training.  I have scheduled three training sessions, with the first focusing on our smaller applicants that are using month-to-month (M-T-M) service (such as a library requesting a hotspot for their bookmobile) or the  CABIO bidding exemption.  The other two trainings will focus on all other application types and will begin with walking through how to create a Contract Record in EPC.  There will be plenty of time available to ask questions.  Registration is required.

Don’t forget, you must request your Category 1 E-Rate funding every year, even if you’re in a multi-year contract for a service.  If your procurements are complete and contracts signed, or if you are in a multi-year contract from a previous year, please don’t wait to file your Form 471s.
