Cisco offers a range of programs that can help K-12 schools increase their return on their technology investment. In many cases, these special offers align with E-rate-though schools do not need to use E-rate funds to benefit from these programs.
Each year, K-12 schools and libraries across the United States take advantage of nearly ,4 billion in technology discounts, thanks to the E-rate program. Since the E-rate Modernization Order was enacted, unprecedented funding has been available for Category 2 internal connections, and the program now focuses on the largest and most urgent need: closing the Wi-Fi gap and ensuring access to high-speed broadband, both critical to delivering a superior digital-learning experience.
Take advantage of these programs and offers to support your school's digital initiatives and expand the opportunities you bring to your students.
U.S. K-12 Bundled Warranty Offer
Available to all Cisco U.S. K-12 and library customers, this program offers discounts on E-rate-eligible products, and provides 12 months of access to Cisco's Technical Assistance Center (TAC), software updates, and Cisco.com, plus up to 3 years of advance hardware replacement, with annual service renewal.
