What is the Educational Assistance Program (EAP)?
The Educational Assistance Program provides funding to eligible school districts with the most severe academic challenges. These school districts have at least one building that did not make school-wide Adequate Yearly Progress targets in reading or math. In these districts, students are eligible for tutoring if they are: • In grades K-3 and are below the standard • In grade 4 and scored below proficient on the grade 3 PSSA • In grade 6 and scored below proficient on the grade 5 PSSA • In grade 9 and scored below proficient on the grade 8 PSSA If your district fits the criteria, you may apply for funds through the eGrants link on the Pennsylvania Department of Education website: www.pde.state.pa.us.
