The Federal Communications Center (FCC ) announced a third application window in the Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF) to help schools and libraries in the upcoming school year. The third application window will open on April 28th and close on May 13th. ECF is a $7.17 billion program that will help schools and libraries provide the tools and services their communities need for remote learning during the COVID-19 emergency period. ECF will help provide relief to millions of students, school staff, and library patrons and will help close the Homework Gap for students who currently lack necessary Internet access or the devices they need to connect to classrooms.
