E-Rate Services

Kellogg & Sovereign® Consulting, LLC has been helping schools & libraries with the E-Rate program (Schools & Libraries Universal Service Discount Mechanism) since the beginning of the program in 1997.

We can assist your school and/or library in all aspects of the E-Rate program from preparing your Technology Plan to filing for reimbursement.
