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 latest $8B 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 Two 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 of which are 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 three years of advance hardware replacement, with annual service renewal.
