Trade & Tech School
Future line worker. Chef. Mechanic. Cosmetologist. With Indiana529, trade and technical schools can be part of the plan, helping students turn natural talents and interests into practical skills and real opportunity. Families can use Indiana529 funds toward tuition, fees, and more at eligible schools nationwide.
Registered Apprenticeships
For many students, learning makes the most sense when it happens in the workplace. Registered Apprenticeships1 give them a way to gain experience, build confidence, and earn while they learn. While many apprenticeships are paid opportunities, Indiana529 funds can help cover related costs like program fees and required equipment, making their path even more cost efficient.
Credentialing Expenses
Sometimes the next move isn’t a degree, but a credential that opens the right door. From career credentials to specialized training, Indiana529 can help both students and working professionals sharpen their skills, meet requirements, and keep moving toward what’s next. Eligible uses include tuition, fees, books, supplies, and more.2
College Your Way
There’s more than one way to attend college. Some students start with core classes close to home. Others head across the country or continue on to graduate, law, or medical school. Indiana529 gives families flexibility beyond location and tuition – helping cover expenses at eligible schools nationwide and abroad, including books, computers, course-related software, and certain room and board costs.
