Every year, demands on education technology resources increase. At the same time, schools have limited available budget to support growing demand. Cisco® has developed a series of funding Webcasts to assist K-12 school administrators in exploring available funding opportunities for technology. The series comprises three Webcasts, covering E-rate, grants, and leasing.
E-rate
