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.
Unified Access Wired and Wireless Bundles
When used in the K-12 learning environment, Cisco® mobility solutions empower students to learn anywhere, on any device-a fundamental principle of digital learning. These empowered students are more engaged, and a more personalized approach to learning can help improve outcomes. Most importantly, the right mobility solution can help ensure a secure environment for educators, students, and staff.
With significant discounts off list price, Unified Access Wired and Wireless bundles are designed to be cost competitive and, with a few exceptions, are 100 percent E-rate eligible.
