Schools must also serve some part of PreK-12 and have a National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) number (NCES has a Private School Search to look yours up). The page doesn't say whether a for-profit private school qualifies. Educational nonprofits that aren't schools must be 501(c) tax-exempt.

  • Public, private or parochial school serving some part of PreK-12
  • An NCES school ID number
  • Pay for removal and shipping

Timing

Register any time; equipment is offered as federal agencies release it.
