Edmond, Okla. (Feb. 9, 2009) – The E-rate application process is extremely complex and often misunderstood. To boost understanding of the E-rate program, Funds For Learning, the nation’s leading E-rate funding compliance services firm, introduces the E-rate Blog. A new feature of the company’s redesigned Web site, the E-rate Blog offers information, tips and commentary from Funds For Learning’s E-rate compliance experts.

“The E-rate Blog offers schools information on topics that affect the E-rate program,” said Scott Weston, Executive Director of Communications for Funds For Learning. “From policy analysis to advice on how to complete an E-rate form successfully, the E-rate Blog offers applicants a fresh take on the latest news related to the E-rate program.”

In addition to posts by Funds For Learning E-rate compliance experts, the company is accepting guest contributions to the E-rate Blog. If E-rate administrators have information or opinions to share regarding the E-rate program, they can submit a posting for review by Funds For Learning, subject to the blog guest post guidelines on the Funds For Learning Web site.

To view these guidelines, and the new E-rate Blog, visit www.fundsforlearning.com.
