Choice School Applications
Schools intending to participate in the Choice Scholarship Program must submit an application for each year that they wish to participate. The deadline to apply for the 2019-2020 school year is September 1. Keep in mind, though, that the review and approval process may take up to two weeks. The first application window for student applications also closes on September 1. Information about required application documents is detailed in "Getting Started."
School Contact Information
If there have been any changes in staff positions at your school, please be sure to complete an updated Choice School Contacts Form and send it to ChoiceSchool@doe.in.gov. School-specific communications and reminders are sent to the emails on file from this form.
