E-Rate
At C Spire, we're dedicated to providing Mississippi's schools, classrooms and libraries with the technology they need to offer modern, connected learning environments. That's why we're pleased to participate in the E-Rate program.
Under the direction of the FCC and administered by the USAC, the E-Rate program offers telecommunications discounts ranging from 10% to 90% to qualifying schools and libraries. This critical federal funding can help institutions keep up with changing technologies, future-proof their network infrastructure, and prepare students and patrons for 21st century learning.
