INDIANAPOLIS -- A new program will help people in Marion County further their education.
The “Indy Achieves” initiative includes a scholarship that guarantees free tuition, books and fees for every Marion County 21st Century Scholar starting in 2019.
The program is a result of a task force that was created last year to come up with recommendations on how to improve access to post-secondary educational opportunities.
While announcing the program on Tuesday, Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett talked about the importance of education.
“Indy Achieves is our commitment to removing barriers and providing a pathway for a healthy and robust expansion of our middle class,” said Hogsett.
