WHAT IS EANS?
Emergency Assistance for Nonpublic Schools (EANS) is part of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 (CRRSA Act), the second federal economic stimulus package recently passed. The CRRSA Act created a fund that was directed to each state’s Governor, and within that fund, it allocated EANS money to religious and independent schools. A total of $248.9 million has been made available for New York State’s religious and independent schools.
