RITEAF is a subsidy program funded by the state of Rhode Island and the federal E-Rate program. The program relies on a consortium application submitted by the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) so that matching funds from E-Rate can be obtained.

RITEAF requires schools and libraries to participate in the E-Rate program.

The materials required by RIDE to process the RITEAF awards to schools and the application to the E-Rate program can be downloaded using the links listed below.
