Indiana currently ranks first in the nation for students completing at least one college course in high school, with the average high school student earning 15 credits – often positioning students within just one to two courses from earning a credential of value. To advance this work—and in response to increasing demand for early college credit—the Indiana Commission for Higher Education has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify providers capable of expanding access to the Indiana College Core and priority Career and Technical Education courses at no cost to high school students across the state.

Today, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education announced that, for the second consecutive year, over 60 percent of Indiana high school seniors from the class of 2026 have filed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). “After recent updates to the FAFSA application process, it is easier than ever for Hoosiers to complete one application that connects them with need-based resources to support their education,” said Governor Mike Braun. “As we work to ensure students and parents see a strong return on investment when choosing higher education, completing the FAFSA can be a key driver in making any path more affordable, whether a student pursues a short-term credential, a bachelor’s degree, or beyond.”

The Indiana Commission for Higher Education is proud to partner with the Institute for Workforce Excellence to celebrate Indiana Intern Day! A big thank you to our incredible 2026 summer interns, Jackson Biesen, Hikaru Akiba, Molly Morris, Griffin Chesebrough, and Isidora Pavlic, for the energy and talent they’ve brought to key initiatives like Indiana Pre-Admissions, FAFSA completion, and 21st Century Scholars. Your work is helping us reach and support more Hoosiers every day!

The Indiana Commission for Higher Education knows that internships help students build real-world skills, grow in confidence, and gain the clarity they need to shape their futures and create a career out of passions. And, by employers engaging in internships, it supports and invests in the next generation of the Hoosier workforce.
