Coulston Elementary School in Shelbyville has received a library makeover grant from the Indiana Sports Corp. and the 2026 NCAA Men’s Final Four Indianapolis Local Organizing Committee.
Five Indiana schools will receive Library Makeover Grants to transform their library spaces through infrastructure improvements, technology upgrades, and cosmetic enhancements.
The recipients are:
- Center for Inquiry 70 in Indianapolis
- Paragon Elementary in Paragon
- Coulston Elementary in Shelbyville
- St. Peter Lutheran School in North Judson
- Wea Ridge Elementary in Lafayette
Launched in November of 2025, the Read to the Final Four Literacy Grant program was made possible through the support of the NCAA, Indiana Sports Corp., and the Local Organizing Committee.
Open to schools enrolled and engaged in Read to the Final Four education programming throughout Indiana, the grants were renewed by committee members alongside the NCAA student-athlete representatives from institutions across the state, a process that itself modeled the civic and leadership values at the heart of the program.
