Category 2 budgets left
Each applicant's five-year budget for funding years 2026 to 2030, the Category 2 it has requested since FY2026 (funded or pending, before discounts), and what's left.

Requests a consortium filed on a member's behalf aren't included, so where a state or regional consortium buys Category 2, "left" will read high.

How the numbers are worked out
Budgets use USAC's rates: $201.57 per student for schools and $5.43 per square foot for libraries, with a $30,175 floor per school or library, counted from the first Form 471 each applicant filed in the cycle. Requests come from USAC's FRN status data, using the latest version of each request; denied and cancelled requests don't count. Requests a consortium filed for its members are filed under the consortium and aren't subtracted here, and applicants that haven't filed a Form 471 this cycle aren't listed. The C2 budget lookup explains the method in full.
Data: USAC Open Data datasets upfy-khtr, qdmp-ygft, 7i5i-83qf and jt8s-3q52, read October 31, 2026. Not official USAC figures.
