Applications will be available starting Feb. 22 for a new state program that will give parents and guardians one-time grants of $1,000 per child for such things as tutoring, school supplies, language classes, musical instruments, and school-related camps.

Kansas Education Enrichment Program will allow parents and guardians to select enrichment and educational activities from approved service providers via an online KEEP Marketplace. Private school tuition does not qualify.

More information for recipients and those who might want to provide goods or services for the program, which is designed to bridge gaps caused by COVID-19 disruptions, is available at http://www.keep.ks.gov.
