Career Scholarship Accounts: Do Schools Have a Role as Providers?

A Frequently Asked Questions document issued this month by the Indiana Department of Education, Indiana Commission for Higher Education, and Indiana State Treasurer contains new guidance for schools on becoming a Career Scholarship Account provider.

The document states that Career Scholarship Accounts are intended to support opportunities and experiences offered "through providers such as employers and intermediary organizations."

School corporations and career centers may apply to become a CSA provider, but only if they are collaborating with an employer on a new program which the employer has had an active role in helping design.

In rare cases, a school may apply to become a CSA provider for an existing program, if the school can show that the program will be enhanced by using CSA monies in lieu of state CTE tuition support.

The agencies advise schools to continue to rely on state CTE tuition support and federal Perkins funding to support their career programming.

The memo affirms that students are not eligible for both CTE funding and CSA funding in the same school year.  Schools can not receive both CTE and CSA funds for the same student, even if the student's CTE courses and CSA courses are in different programs of study. For state accounting, the Treasurer's Office will flag CSA students for removal from the annual CTE funding distributions.

CSAs are meant to "work with or in additon" to traditional systems of CTE, "not to compete with or to replace CTE funding."

As of mid-May, two school districts have applied and received approval as CSA providers.
