E-rate Services

Have you ever felt overwhelmed, frustrated, challenged—all at once? Deadlines approaching? Out of time? Must be E-rate season!!

Kick back!! Let Dietrich Lockard put you in the E-rate easy chair!

Dietrich Lockard has the know-how and experience in all aspects of E-rate. Since the inception of the program, we’ve been helping our clients get the maximum award possible as quickly as possible. We do that by meeting all required deadlines, filing SPIN changes, managing any necessary appeals, and on-site audit support when needed. We also stay on top of the annual changes to the E-rate program and attend conferences and seminars on the program so that we can help you get the highest award available.

Every year we manage multiple program years for our E-rate clients. Yes, that includes all the forms….470, 471, 472 (BEAR), 486 and 500 and Item 21 attachments. Best of all, we handle all the filings for you, freeing your staff to do the work you hired them for--not shuffling paper. Per SLD requirements, we’ll keep all your forms and paperwork on file for 5 years.

Without fail, schools and libraries miss out on additional funding because they also qualify for Priority 2 awards. We can determine if you are eligible for Priority 2 funds, and file all those especially detailed applications for cabling and equipment on your behalf. Let us take the headache out of E-rate.
