Amount varies
Indiana pays up to 100 percent of tuition at a public college in the state for students who enrol in seventh or eighth grade and keep to the programme's requirements. Enrolment closes on 30 June of eighth grade year and cannot be done later, which is what makes it worth knowing about early.
Up to 100 percent of tuition at a public college in Indiana, and part of tuition at a private or independent one. The source states the percentage rather than an amount, because the amount depends on the college.
