What is the Indiana Education Scholarship Account?


The Indiana Education Scholarship Account (INESA) provides scholarship funding to K-12 students with disabilities (and their siblings, as of July 1, 2024).

This school choice program allows parents to opt out of the public school system and customize education to their child’s needs.

How much is the scholarship?

Scholarship awards vary, based on the level of disability and the district in which you live.

Students with a disability may receive up to $20k and their siblings may receive up to $8k.

Find out if you qualify!

A student thrives in her new learning environment, thanks to the Indiana Education Scholarship Account.

How does it work?

Scholarship recipients receive 100% of state special education dollars and 90% of state tuition dollars that would have gone to the public school. Siblings without a disability receive only 90% of state tuition dollars.

These funds are deposited into a dedicated account that can be spent on pre-approved education expenses such as:

  • Tuition and fees at approved INESA schools
  • Camps and training programs
  • Curriculum and supplies
  • Transportation service
  • Tutoring services
  • Individual classes
  • Testing fees
  • Therapies
  • And more!
