There may be more savings.
CTF can reduce eligible costs remaining after E-rate by an additional 50%, subject to program rules.
For example, an 80% E-rate discount followed by CTF covering half the eligible balance can bring your share to 10% of the original eligible service cost. Separate CTF approval, funding documentation, and the E-rate invoice method matter. Schools and libraries that have not applied for E-rate may still have a statewide-average adjustment applied before CTF is calculated.
