Indiana529 to award $10,000 in Education Sweepstakes

INDIANAPOLIS (September 2, 2025) - September is National College Savings Month,

and Governor Mike Braun has highlighted the importance of saving for education with a

Proclamation establishing September 2025 as College Savings Month in Indiana. To

celebrate, one individual will be selected to win a $10,000 account deposit in the

Indiana529 Education Sweepstakes.

To enter the Sweepstakes, individuals 18 years of age or older must complete the entry

form available at MyIndiana529.com/sweepstakes by 11:59 p.m. on September 30,

2025. The winner will be randomly selected from all eligible entries to receive a $10,000

Indiana529 account deposit.

“Every Hoosier child deserves the opportunity to pursue their educational dreams,” said

Daniel Elliott, Indiana Treasurer of State. “We’re hoping to help make those dreams a

reality by awarding one Indiana family with a $10,000 Indiana529 account deposit.”

Indiana529 provides account owners and gift contributors flexibility when it comes to

saving for education after high school. Funds can be used at any eligible school or

registered apprenticeship program, both in- and out-of-state. Accounts grow tax-

deferred, and distributions are tax-free as long as the money is withdrawn to pay for

qualified education expenses like tuition, books, computers, equipment, and fees.

Indiana taxpayers may also be eligible for an annual state income tax credit of 20

percent of contributions to their Indiana529 accounts, worth up to $1,500 each year

($750 for married couples filing separately).

“Indiana529 is here to help Hoosiers achieve the education after high school that’s best

for them,” said Marissa Rowe, executive director of the program. “This $10,000

investment will go a long way for a child pursing a registered apprenticeship, 2- or 4-

year college, and beyond.”
