EducationSuperHighway is a United States nonprofit organization that directs research and provides advocacy and consultation services to states and school districts in order to connect American public school classrooms to high-speed internet. The organization was founded by Evan Marwell in 2012 with the goal to ensure all American classrooms are connected with the FCC-recommended minimum speed of 100 kbit/s per student. In 2013, EducationSuperHighway raised $9 million in funding led by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's Startup:Education fund, with additional funding coming from the Gates Foundation. The organization has published a yearly State of the States report that compiles data from the FCC's E-Rate program and helps to connect schools with the funding offered by ERate.
