Information about ARP EANS Program

Section 2002 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP Act) requires the United States Department of Education to reserve $2,750,000,000 for making a second round of allocations to Governors under the Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools program, originally authorized under section 312(d) of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSA Act).

South Carolina is being awarded $40,560,267, of which, $40,357,466 will be available to eligible nonprofit, nonpublic schools in South Carolina. To be eligible, a nonpublic school must be a nonprofit, established before March 13, 2020, accredited, licensed, or otherwise approved to operate in accordance with State law, and did not and will not apply for and receive a loan under the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) (15 U.S.C. 636(a)(37)) that is made on or after December 27, 2020. Additionally, only those nonpublic schools who enroll a significant percentage (40% as defined in the South Carolina ARP EANS application) of low-income students and are most impacted by the pandemic will be considered.

Updates to SC ARP EANS: The eligibility requirements for SC ARP EANS have been altered. On January 14, 2022, Governor Henry McMaster submitted a revised application to the U.S. Department of Education (USED) indicating a revised low-income enrollment threshold of 20 percent. This amended application was accepted and approved by USED on February 10, 2022.
