Starting March 1, 2025, through Sept. 1, 2025, Hoosier parents of children with disabilities can apply for the Indiana Education Scholarship Account for the 2025-2026 school year. More than 180,000 Hoosier students in Indiana navigate life with disabilities, and many are potentially eligible for funding to help customize their education to meet their individual needs.
“Having walked this journey with my own family, I know how crucial it is for parents to have options and support to meet their children’s unique education needs that come with disabilities,” said Indiana Treasurer of State Daniel Elliott.
Elliott said parents caring for children with disabilities often report feeling intimidated and lost in trying to access the services and support they need to help their children get a well-rounded learning experience.
Schools also attest to the advantage INESA provides to students with disabilities.
“The ESA program has made it possible for many parents to be able to afford the necessary academic intervention programs that Fortune Academy provides," said Vanessa Coles, Fortune Academy, Head of School. "Our students with dyslexia and other language-based learning disabilities desperately need this specialized individual support to
find success in the classroom, which transforms them into competent and confident lifelong learners.”
INESA scholarship funding provides eligible students (K-12) access to the educational environment that best meets their learning needs, such as private education, at-home learning, and other non-public educational settings that qualify.
Parents can use INESA dollars for a variety of qualified expenses for educational support, such as tuition and fees, transportation costs, occupational therapy, tutoring, vocational and life-skills courses, extra-curriculum programs, and more.
The INESA application deadline is Sept. 1, 2025.
