A. RUS currently administers the following grant programs: 1. The Distance Learning and Telemedicine Grant Program is designed specifically to meet the educational and health care needs of rural America. For more information, visit: www.usda.gov/rus/telecom/dlt/dlt.htm . 2. The Local Dial-Up Internet Grant Program finances projects to provide local dial-up Internet service in rural areas where it currently does not exist. For more information, visit: www.usda.gov/rus/telecom/initiatives/index_initiatives.htm (NOTE: this program does not extend beyond FY 2002 funding). 3. The Broadband Pilot Grant Program provides financing to eligible entities that propose, on a “community-oriented connectivity” basis, to provide broadband transmission service in rural areas. For more information, visit: www.usda.gov/rus/telecom/initiatives/index_initiatives.htm (NOTE: this program does not extend beyond FY 2002 funding).
