According to officials, the grant is designed to support K-12 schools with college and career readiness initiatives for Hoosier students.
Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers said the grant provides support for teachers and counselors to develop effective and engaging college preparation and career exploration activities for their students.
She added that providing students with these opportunities before they graduate from high school exposes them to courses and interests that will prepare them for college and career success.
This grant contest is a part of Learn More Indiana’s annual magazines that provide grade-specific content to help students prepare for post-secondary education.
A total of $10,000 was awarded to elementary, middle and high schools across the state that had the highest percentage of student submitted entries. In addition to having the most student entries, educators also had to include different ways they utilize Learn More Indiana magazines in the classroom.
While this grant contest can help educators, students are also eligible for their own contest. They can participate in the Student 529 Contest for a chance to win $529 in a CollegeChoice 529 Direct Savings Plan.
Submissions for both contests are accepted until December 31st of each year.
