Kansas kid’s education suffered during the pandemic. Kansas Governor Laura Kelly says that as students continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, the state has created the Kansas Education Enrichment Program, , known as “KEEP”. The program will provide those who qualify with a one-time $1,000 award per child for educational goods and services like tutoring and school supplies. Students who live in homes with an income of less than 185% of the federal poverty guidelines will be eligible for KEEP funds. The funds will be available for use on enrichment and educational activities that include: purchasing curriculum, school supplies and technological devices, tutoring, academic related camps, language classes and musical instruments and lessons.
Parents and guardians will be able to choose enrichment and educational activities from approved service providers via the KEEP Marketplace or request that a service provider to be approved and added to the statewide directory.
