Emergency Assistance for Non-Public Schools (EANS) is a federal relief program approved by the Department of Education in response to the COVID – 19 pandemic.
EANS Funds may be used by eligible non-public schools to address pandemic learning loss and invest in infrastructure and programs to open and operate safely. Dry erase whiteboards and resurfacing material may qualify in your state. (See information on the ESSER program for public schools.)
Currently, the government has approved two rounds of EANS funding, $5.5 billion in total.
*Technically, all furnishings purchased with EANS funding are subject to recall by your state’s Educational Agency (SEA) after the September 30 deadline. However, SEAs are not required to do this, and total recalls are unlikely.
An important note when considering EANS fund spending:
The government does not provide hard-fast rules on what products or services are covered by EANS funding. In general, funds can be used to help schools bounce back from COVID-19 learning loss, as well as cover costs schools have or will incur because of the pandemic. Such areas include:
To help facilitate funding approval, provide documentation and data that shows how the equipment and services aid in your school’s rebound from COVID-related learning loss as well as the protection of students and staff.
These EVERWhite and Everase products may qualify for the funds. Check with your state’s guidelines.

Your K-12 school is eligible for EANS funding if:
Your elementary or secondary school is only eligible for ARP EANS funds if it enrolls a percentage of students from low-income families most impacted by COVID-19
Non-public schools can apply through their state’s Educational Agency (SEA) for the EANS funding. The SEA is responsible for allocating the funds. Your state’s governor is the grantee and is responsible for the program’s oversight. (This ensures that your non-public school is not the recipient of the funds; the governor is.)
