The Indiana Career Scholarship Account (CSA) program was created in 2023 by House Enrolled Act (HEA) 1002 (2023). The CSA program is administered by the Indiana Treasurer of State (TOS) in partnership with the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (CHE).
The CSA program provides $5,000 annually through quarterly disbursements ($1,250 per quarter) to eligible grade 10, 11, and 12 students enrolled in eligible programs to pursue apprenticeships, applied learning experience, work-based learning, and credentials of value. The CSA program funds the eligible costs of postsecondary education and training, transportation and equipment, career coaching and navigation services, and certification and credentialing examinations. Based on the amount of funding that has been made available for the 2024-2025 school year, there are 2,000 CSA accounts available for all grade 10, 11, and 12 students.
This application will be used by IDOE and CHE to approve new CSA providers and programs for the 2024-2025 school year. Approval of programs and providers lasts a minimum of three years. Programs approved in fall 2023 do not need to reapply in 2024.
