FAQ’s

Q: Do we have to offer vouchers (Choice Scholarships) in order to participate in the SGO program?

No. While most of our partner schools do choose to participate in Indiana’s state-funded Choice Scholarship program, it is not a requirement.  We can help you navigate the differences, and if you do take Choice Vouchers, the SGO program can work in tandem.  Click here for a link to the DOE website which provides more information on vouchers.

Q: Can we get help with fundraising for our SGO account?

Yes, we are happy to provide resources, coaching and participate in any fundraising events that you might have.  We have collateral material that explains the program, helpful tool kits for having donor events, and collaborative learning opportunities.

Q: How do we prove that our students are eligible?

If your school works with a third-party vendor like FACTS to verify financial information, we can access the information through FACTS with your permission.  Or, the school can provide the first page of the most recent 1040 tax return for each household.  We will work with you to make sure that we have all of the information needed to make a determination of eligibility for each applicant.

Q: What resources do you provide to help run the program at our school?

We have training, coaching, webinars, automated reports, a web portal and a written manual, all designed to help make this process as easy as possible for the school.  We would be happy to answer any questions you might have!
