Help With Tutoring Costs Available For Hoosier Students

Help With Tutoring Costs Available For Hoosier Students

by Indian State Representative Wendy McNarama

While Indiana is making great strides in boosting student reading and math scores, more work needs to be done to get scores back to pre-pandemic levels. To support students in reaching their goals, Indiana Learns is providing grants to help families pay for after-school tutoring.

With Indiana Learns, established through legislation I supported, eligible families can receive up to $1,000 to use toward approved math and reading tutors, and academic camps during school breaks for students in grades three to eight.

To be eligible, a student must qualify for the federal free or reduced lunch program and have scored below proficiency in either mathematics or English/language arts on ILEARN in 2022.

This is a great opportunity to help students improve their reading and math skills, and I hope more families consider applying for an Indiana Learns grant. Eligible students must use the funding before June 30, 2024. To learn more and apply, click here.
