Indiana Choice Scholarship (Choice Scholarship)
Award amounts: Indiana Department of Education, estimated Choice Scholarship award amounts 2026–2027, November 9, 2026. School list: Indiana Department of Education publishes a 2026–2027 participating Choice schools list; this directory has not matched it, as of Nov 9, 2026. The approved-school count is zero because no list has been matched, not because zero schools participate. Funding depends on eligibility, approval and available funds.
Choice Scholarship is Indiana’s voucher program, the program most families call the Indiana school voucher. The published 2026–27 figure is $6,033.32–$8,328.56 per student. Estimated period-1 (full-year) amounts. The award is the lesser of that amount or the tuition and fees reported for the student. A period-2 award is half. The department says final amounts can differ from these estimates.
Who runs it and how to apply
Choice Scholarship is run by the Indiana Department of Education. Families apply through the official site, www.in.gov/doe/students/indiana-choice-scholarship-program/. Period 1, for a full-year award, was March 1 through September 1. Period 2, for a half-year award, is November 1 through January 15. On November 9, 2026, a new applicant is in the period-2 window, so the award is half the estimated amount, and only if approved.
What schools must do to take part
The scholarship can be used at a private school participating in the Choice Scholarship Program. The school files the application. The award cannot be more than the tuition and fees the school reports for that student.
Frequently asked questions
How much is the Indiana school voucher for private school?
$6,033.32–$8,328.56 per student for the 2026–27 school year at an approved private school.
Is Choice Scholarship a school voucher?
Yes. Choice Scholarship is a voucher program that pays toward tuition at participating private schools.
Does every applicant get Choice Scholarship funding?
No. The department's 2025–26 annual report says that beginning July 1, 2026, students ages 5 through 22 with legal settlement in Indiana may use a Choice Scholarship, with the income cap removed. The student still has to be approved, and the school has to be a participating Choice school. None of the Indiana schools in this directory are marked participating. Funding depends on eligibility, approval and available funds.
Which Christian schools accept the Indiana school voucher?
Schools have to be approved by the program. This directory has not matched a school-level participating list (checked November 9, 2026), so no school is marked as accepting Choice Scholarship. A missing mark is not a finding that the school declines the program.
How is cost after funding calculated?
The tuition the school publishes, minus the award, which depends on the student's public school corporation of legal settlement. The figure is an estimate, and the award cannot exceed the tuition and fees the school reports, never below zero. Fees such as registration, books and transportation may apply on top.
