FCC To Commit Over $15 Million for Emergency Connectivity Funding

The Federal Communications Commission committed over $15 million in a new funding round through the Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF) Program, which provides digital services for students in communities across the country. The funding commitment supports applications from the first and third application windows, benefiting approximately 35,000 students across the country, including students in California, Delaware, Indiana, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Nebraska, New York, and Pennsylvania. The funding can be used to support off-campus learning, such as nightly homework, to ensure students across the country have the necessary support to keep up with their education.
