Emergency Connectivity Fund Application, Form 471 (ECF), 3 of 4

Join Library of Michigan and E-Rate Central for the third webinar in a 4-part series designed for library applicants that will be applying for the $7.1B ECF program. Webinar 1, provided on May 14th, took a detailed look at the newly released Order. Webinar 2 on June 18th described the necessary actions and steps to be ready to file the application. In this webinar, we will walk through the ECF application in the E-Rate Productivity Center and a suggested timeline for certifying the form in the first Filing Window. Ample time will be allowed to discuss all questions. Webinar 4 will walk applicants through the process to seek reimbursement, once Funding Commitments have been made.

At the conclusion of this webinar Library applicants will have a better understanding the ECF program's document requirements, and how to submit and certify an application. The steps necessary to follow the application through from certification to funding will be detailed.
