Free Ivy Tech Courses for Students

Ivy Tech Community College offers a unique program during the summer that allows students in grades 9 through 12 to take college courses for free. They don't even have to pay for textbooks. The credits they earn can transfer to any Indiana 4-year public university, and they can work toward a certificate or degree at Ivy Tech. Most notably, this can help them save money in college and possibly allow them to graduate sooner. 
 
Those interested can learn more and sign up for the program by visiting IvyTech.edu/freeclasses.
