Participation in Indiana’s Choice Scholarship Program increased by 8.5% in the 2024-25 school year, with state spending reaching nearly half a billion dollars.

Over 76,000 students received vouchers, and more schools are now accepting them. Despite the growth, families still paid out-of-pocket for school costs, as scholarships did not cover the full tuition amount.

The majority of voucher users had never attended public school, and the average family income among recipients was $102,843.

Indiana lawmakers have expanded the program, making it one of the largest voucher systems in the nation.
