Indiana is committed to providing all children access to quality educational opportunities. Indiana's Choice Scholarship Program, commonly referred to as the voucher program, (authorized under IC 20-51-1 and IC 20-51-4) provides scholarships to eligible Indiana students in grades K – 12 to offset tuition costs at participating schools.
Participating schools and interested parents/guardians work together to enroll students. The Choice Scholarship application is submitted electronically to Indiana Department of Education by the participating school. Schools and parents/guardians should explore the links below for more information.
