South Carolina Supreme Court set to hear arguments on constitutionality of SAFE grants program

Published



South Carolina’s Supreme Court will hear arguments Friday on the constitutionality of a program that would provide scholarships to enable families struggling financially because of COVID-19 to keep their children in nonpublic schools.

Funded with federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act dollars, Gov. Henry McMaster’s Safe Access to Flexible Education grant program would provide one-time, need-based grants up to $6,500 to eligible mid- to low-income students to be used toward tuition at their nonpublic schools in South Carolina.
