INDIANAPOLIS – If you’re searching for ways to improve your education during the COVID-19 pandemic, the city of Indianapolis is trying to help cover some of the costs.
The city appropriated $327,500 for Indy Achieves completion grants, which cover debt, unpaid bursar bills and more for IUPUI and Ivy Tech students.
Students can use the grants beginning with the Fall 2020 semester.

“Postsecondary education will be just as big a part of gainful employment post-pandemic as it was pre-pandemic,” Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett said. “If our community is dedicated to a return to an even better Indianapolis, we must find ways to provide a realistic path to prosperity for all residents. Our success as a city depends not just on attracting the business of the future, but on educating the workforce of the future. Today, we take a step toward that goal during a difficult time.”
The appropriation also included $1.1 million for reskilling grants, distributed by EmployIndy. That money can be used for e-learning expenses and short-term postsecondary certifications.
