FCC Opens Cybersecurity Pilot Program Application Window

The Federal Communications Commission announced the opening of the application window for the Schools and Libraries Cybersecurity Pilot Program. During the 45-day application filing window, which will run from September 17, 2024 to November 1, 2024, eligible schools and libraries can apply to participate in the three-year, $200 million pilot program. Participants selected for the pilot program will receive support to defray the costs of eligible cybersecurity services and equipment, while providing the Commission with data to better understand whether and how universal service funds could be used to improve school and library defenses against increasing cyberattacks.
