Step 1: Apply to OpenEd Indiana
If you’re reading this, you’ve likely already completed this step—great job! We’re excited to welcome your family to the OpenEd program. Once you submit your application, we’ll review your information and confirm your eligibility. As long as you meet the basic requirements, you’ll be accepted and ready to move on to enrollment!
Note: You'll receive one "acceptance" email per family. If you have multiple students, they're all covered with your acceptance.
Step 2: Complete Choice Scholarship Tasks
Once your application has been accepted, the next step is to complete your enrollment tasks directly in the OpenEd platform. You'll receive specific login credentials to access your portal.
We recommend starting with the Choice Scholarship Task. Your family must qualify for the scholarship in order to be accepted into OpenEd. Information about eligibility can be found here.
You will need to submit the following documents as you complete this task for each student:
Birth certificate
Proof of Indiana residency
Special Education documents (if applicable)
Active IEP / 504 Plan
2024 Tax Return form 1040 (Required for Indiana Choice Scholarship income verification)
Once you input all the necessary information and upload your documents, our team will complete your application. Upon acceptance, we will begin to process your OpenEd Enrollment tasks.
Step 3: Enroll into the Program
Once your student’s Choice Scholarship application has been processed, the next step is to complete your outstanding enrollment tasks directly in the OpenEd platform.
Each task will be clearly defined in the platform, so you can go through at your pace, but please be mindful of due dates related to each task.
Important Notes:
You may notice that some tasks are locked. This is by design. You will be notified as soon as they are unlocked and require action.
Once you submit your documents or information for review, our team will be hard-at-work reviewing the information! If for any reason we have questions or need clarifying information, we'll reach out directly to you.
In the meantime, we'd love to connect with you!
