RUS Distance Learning and Telemedicine Grants

The Rural Utilities Service (RUS), an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), announces its Distance Learning and Telemedicine (DLT) grant program application window for Fiscal Year (FY) 2010.

Applications will be received through May 18, 2010. In addition RUS announces the anticipated amount of funding available, the minimum and maximum amounts for DLT grants applicable for the fiscal year, and a change in scoring necessitated by the expiration of the Empowerment Zone and Enterprise Community (EZ/EC) designations. RUS also notes that libraries are eligible to be recipients of DLT Loans and Grants.
