FCC to Launch Tribal Library E-Rate Advocacy Program

The Federal Communications Commission announced the creation of the Tribal Library E-Rate Advocacy Program (T-LEAP), which builds on the Commission’s Tribal Libraries Pilot Program. Through this new, permanent program, interested Tribal libraries will have the opportunity to sign up throughout the year for one-on-one assistance to start learning about and working on the E-Rate application process. Tribal libraries are able to sign up for T-LEAP now online. T-LEAP will build on the Tribal Libraries Pilot Program, which provided one-on-one assistance on the application process for the full lifecycle of the E-Rate program during funding years 2023 and 2024.
