The Kansas Education Enrichment Program (KEEP) is designed to support Kansas families and children in recovering from the educational impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. It provides a one-time $1,000 award per child to pay for educational goods and services, such as tutoring and school supplies.
KEEP awards are given to a student’s parent or guardian to use on various enrichment and educational activities. The program is offered through a contract between Merit International, Inc. and the Kansas Office of Recovery. There are no fees to apply or participate in the program, and multiple students per household can apply, covering ages 5-18.
