American Rescue Plan (ARP) FAQs
The Department of Education has made ARP funds available to students who incurred expenses as a result of COVID-19 related disruptions to their college experience.
ARP requires that institutions prioritize students with exceptional need, such as students who receive Pell Grants, in awarding financial aid grants to students. However, students do not need to be only Pell recipients or students who are eligible for Pell grants. In addition, ARP provides financial aid grants to students who may be exclusively enrolled in distance education.
