EANS Program Description
The Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools (EANS) grant is part of the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) II Fund, authorized by the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act signed into law in December 2020. EANS provides funding for services to nonpublic schools suffering the impact of COVID-19.
Allowable uses of EANS funding include costs associated with safely reopening schools, continuing instruction, addressing learning loss, supporting educational technology and reimbursing for certain coronavirus-related costs. Funds may be used for pre-award costs dating back to March 13, 2020, when the COVID-19 national emergency was declared, and must be obligated by September 30, 2023.
