INDY ACHIEVES

Brief Program Summary: The goal of Indy Achieves is to help youth, young adults, and adults reach postsecondary completion, and ultimately, a career pathway leading to earning a family- sustaining wage. Indy Achieves works with youth from middle school to postsecondary, providing Promise Scholarships, Completion grants, mentoring, and supportive services to Indiana- University Purdue-University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and Ivy Tech students to help bridge financial gaps and personal barriers to postsecondary completion. Furthermore, Indy Achieves pushes and assists eligible Marion County students to apply for 21st Century Scholars—a state-led program that provides up to four years of undergraduate tuition to income-eligible students. The program also helps Scholars develop a graduation plan and explore colleges and career pathways.
