The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSA Act) provides $2.75 billion for the Emergency Assistance for Non-Public Schools (EANS) Program, which is part of the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund. The U.S. Department of Education will award formula grants to each state after receiving and approving an application from the state for EANS funding. Each state will be responsible for providing services or assistance to eligible non-public schools to address the impact that COVID-19 has had, and continues to have, on non-public school students and teachers. Services to non-public schools that enroll low-income students and are most impacted by the pandemic will be prioritized.
Note: This program is separate from the Equitable Services provision for ESSER and GEER funding under the CARES Act. The CRRSA Act does not include an Equitable Services provision for the additional ESSER and GEER funding.
