Funds for Learning helps E-rate applicants and service providers track their E-rate funding, meet critical deadlines, and manage participation in the E-rate program with their E-rate manager.
Dr. Berger expressed satisfaction with the interview stating, "John explains what and where E-rate sits in simple and clear language." He continued, "It's refreshing to find a subject matter expert so committed to informing and assisting educators on government policy."
