Lorrie Germann, State E-Rate Coordinator, will conduct a series of online workshops to help prepare E-Rate applicants for filing the FY2026 Form 471 application. With the upcoming funding year starting a new 5-year Category 2 budget cycle and changes to the Eligible Services List (ESL), the sessions will be split to cover Category 1 and Category 2 separately. This will allow time for questions and discussion. Each session will include a step-by-step walk-through of the application process, form changes, and how to create funding requests.
Please note that each session type is offered over several dates to give you options on when to attend.
