EANS (Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools)
This relief funding is unique as it is designated to provide services or assistance to eligible non-public schools to address educational disruptions caused by COVID-19. In Montana, Non-Public Schools includes homeschool families and private schools.
ARP EANS (current funding)
The ARP EANS Intent to Apply application went live on October 24th. As the eligibility requirements for the ARP EANS funds differs from the CRRSA EANS funds, applicants will be asked to take a short survey to determine their eligibility.
The Intent to Apply survey is available to all non-public school participants. If your school received funding under CRRSA EANS, you can log into the e-grants system and the Intent to Apply button will be available. For new applicants, please refer to the OPI website at and click on the red EANS button. You will find New Applicant information in the EANS Update box on the right. Applicants will have until September of 2024 to expend funds.
FACTS Solutions has been contracted to assist nonpublic schools, who have been awarded EANS funding, in processing their purchase requests. A webinar was provided on March 9, 2022 and is available for review for those who were unable to attend. The webinar and other information regarding what funds can be used for is available on the OPI website under the EANS red tab.
