Build, Learn, Grow Scholarship
The Indiana Office of Early Childhood and Out-of-School Learning — in partnership the Indiana Afterschool Network — is offering a new Build, Learn, Grow Summer Scholarship program. These scholarships recognize the continued efforts of Hoosiers in essential roles and assist their families with receiving high quality care for their children. Families that identify as essential workers and meet income eligibility guidelines are eligible. Scholarships cover up to 80% of eligible families’ childcare expenses and will be awarded on a first come, first served basis.

Step 1: Complete the Build, Learn, Grow application

Step 2: Complete the AYS application

Please note: If you are currently receiving a Build, Learn, Grow Scholarship, you do not need to reapply, as we will use the information from your existing application.

AYS Financial Assistance*
AYS provides limited financial assistance to families who are at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level, and uses the FSSA Child Care Income Eligibility Determination & Fee Schedule to determine assistance eligibility. As you complete your child’s enrollment application, you will have the option to submit a financial assistance application.

*Families are required to apply for CCDF vouchers or Build, Learn, Grow scholarship before applying for AYS financial assistance.
