Emergency Assistance for Postsecondary Students (EAPS) Grant # Emergency Assistance for Postsecondary Students (EAPS) Grant ### Improving college retention and completion for students experiencing unforeseen financial emergencies.
The Office of Higher Education administers the Emergency Assistance for Postsecondary Students (EAPS) Grant Program to foster postsecondary attendance and retention for low-income students by providing funding and resources to Minnesota colleges and universities with a demonstrable homeless population. The Minnesota Legislature established the EAPS Grant Program in May 2017.
Grant funds are intended to meet immediate student needs related to housing, food, and transportation that would otherwise prevent students from completing their term.

Institutions eligible for EAPS grant funding include private, non-profit postsecondary institutions and/or Tribally-affiliated postsecondary institutions with a demonstrable homeless population.
Institutions are required to have a physical campus in the state of Minnesota. The State of Minnesota defines “homeless” as any individual, unaccompanied youth or family that is without a permanent place to live that is fit for human habitation. By this definition, students who are doubling-up (staying with a friend or family member, i.e. “crashing” or “couch-surfing”) are considered homeless.
Colleges or universities can demonstrate that they serve students experiencing homelessness by submitting one of the following items: * Recently-conducted research on the prevalence of student homelessness on their campus; * Limited data collected as a part of other social service programs on campus (i.e. collecting participant information at a campus food shelf or student-parent center); or * Summative reports that demonstrate the prevalence of homelessness among the population served.
If a college or university has not conducted any quantitative research around housing insecurity within their institution, OHE may consider their proposal if the institution submits a written commitment to conducting research on the prevalence of student homelessness on their campus within one calendar year. EAPS funds may not be used to support this research. What are eligible services?
Funds awarded to postsecondary institutions must be used to administer an emergency grant program. * Funds paid to third-parties on behalf of students * Gift cards provided to students How much money can a grantee receive? The maximum allowable request per institution is $75,000 a year with a maximum grant amount of $150,000.

A compliance roadmap published August 19 lays out what colleges and universities have to certify before the 2026-2027 academic year — and two of the items get almost no attention. FAR 52.222-90 must be flowed into existing contracts by December 31, 2026. And under EO 14282, certification of Section 117 foreign gift compliance is now expressly material to False Claims Act liability and to receiving federal grant funds at all. Here is the full stack, the dates, and what a defensible file looks like.
Read articleFederal appropriators added $15 billion in new Pell Grant funding to the FY 2026 appropriations package on top of the standard appropriation level — a response to a structural shortfall that CBO scored at $5.4 billion in FY 2026 and $11.5 billion in FY 2027. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget projects a cumulative gap of $61 billion to $97 billion through 2035 even after the one-time fix. Meanwhile, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act expanded eligibility to short-term Workforce Pell programs, adding $2 to $6 billion in new costs. The Pell program is the foundation of need-based federal student aid, but the structural mismatch between rising costs and appropriations is a permanent feature now. Here is what that means for institutions, foundations, and state higher-ed agencies.
Read articleThe Pell Grant program faces a $104-132 billion shortfall over the next decade. With 7.5 million students at risk, education funders and grant-seeking organizations need strategies now.
