Indiana’s Build, Learn, Grow program is extending scholarships for qualified families!

When families are working and kids are learning, Indiana’s future is brighter. With summer officially here, Indiana wants to make sure children from birth to age 12 are engaged in high-quality early learning and education opportunities.

Families that work in essential businesses are eligible to receive scholarships toward their children’s early care and education, summer learning or out-of-school care.
