What is the Indiana Education Scholarship Account (INESA)?


An Indiana Education Scholarship Account, administered by the Office of the Indiana Treasurer of State, provides scholarship funding to students with disabilities which they can use to access to the educational environment that best meets their learning needs. Parents of eligible students, or emancipated eligible students, may spend scholarship money on pre-approved educational programs, therapies, services, tuition and fees at private schools, curricular materials, and other expenses related to the student’s education.  Explore our website to learn about INESA and enroll as a student or a provider.

*Sibling Eligibility: A sibling is defined as a child having a parent in common by blood, adoption, or marriage.  The INESA student who requires special education services will need to be approved before INESA administration may approve a sibling. Students without a disability requiring special education services, will receive state tuition support up to $8,000.  Students who require special education services support will receive up to $20,000.

What are people saying about INESA?

Brenda Jackson, School Administrator

"If it wasn't for the ESA, half of our students would not be able to attend Worthmore Academy and get the special instruction allowing them to learn and love school!"

Erica, Mom of Ella

"Ella is complex. Which in turn makes all things related to her life complex. Finally, we have a solution to make school one of the few things not complex for her. ESA has opened up doors we never thought possible. We found a way to schedule school around her immense physical challenges, we found a way to focus on the topic she needs to help her grow, we found a way to help her bloom where she is planted. All because of the opportunity to use the ESA funds to give Ella her best opportunity for her education."

Anastasia, Mom of Annalisa

“If it wasn’t for ESA we wouldn’t have the funds to do speech therapy. We would have had no choice but to do virtual. My daughter is very hands on so this method wouldn’t be as effective as in person. The team at Rhythm N Beets has helped my daughter make strides in speech, small and big.”
