Why does my address change the private school voucher?
Because the award is 90% of the state funding for your district of legal settlement. The spread across the four counties for 2026-27 runs from $6,395 in Carmel Clay to $7,456 in IPS territory.
When do new Indiana residents become eligible?
Once you have legal settlement in Indiana. A family arriving in fall can enroll in period two, November 1 to January 15, for a half-year award.
Does it matter where the private school is?
Not for the amount. A student living in Warren Township who attends a Carmel school carries the Warren figure; 44.7% of Choice students statewide attended a school outside their home district in 2025-26.
Where can I compare neighborhoods?
Each community page lists every private school we found there, with Choice, SGO and ESA status.
