FCC Announces Over $34 Million in Emergency Connectivity Funding

The Federal Communications Commission committed over $34 million in a new funding round through the Emergency Connectivity Program (ECP), which provides digital services for students in communities across the country. The funding commitments support applications from the third application window, benefiting approximately 80,000 students across the country—including students in Colorado, Idaho, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, and Washington—through over 250 schools, 15 libraries, and 2 consortia. To date, the FCC has committed approximately $6.5 billion to schools and libraries across the country as part of the Emergency Connectivity Program, which launched in 2022.
