Promise Indiana Dillsboro
Bright futures begin with big dreams. Promise Indiana Dillsboro supports every student to pursue education beyond high school.
How it Works
Start a Savings Account
Promise Indiana Dillsboro makes it easy for families to start a CollegeChoice 529 account for future education. Dillsboro Alumni Association deposits the first $25 to kick-start savings for students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade at Dillsboro Elementary.
Discover College and Careers
Early experiences help students visualize their futures. At school, students learn about college and careers and they explore the campus of Ivy Tech Community College. Faculty and students lead activities to build students' excitement for education beyond high school.
Ask Your Champions
Students benefit from having champions who encourage them. Champions can be neighbors, friends, grandparents, aunts, uncles, coaches, or teachers. Students ask their champions to add to their savings for education.
Earn a Community Match
Participating students are eligible to receive a dollar for dollar match up to $25 from the Dillsboro Alumni Association for funds contributed by their champions.
How can families get involved?
