Step 5: Discount Matrix
Applicants use the discount matrix to determine the correct discount level for an individual school or library outlet.
An applicant for discounts on eligible services must calculate the percentage discount that it (and the entities it represents) is eligible to receive. For detailed information on how to calculate the percentage discount for particular types of entities (schools, school districts, library outlet or branch, library system, or consortium), see the Form 471 Instructions for the Block 4 Worksheet.
