IHSAA Foundation Funding Initiatives for 2023-24

  • Member-School Grants
    • We have developed a brand new member-school grant program that directly benefits and impacts student-athletes.
    • We will provide funding for the creation of Student Athletic Councils at member-schools and attendance at the IHSAA Student Leadership Conference.
  • Scholarships
    • We will award a total of 24 scholarships to deserving student-athletes worth over $40,000!
  • Athletic Director/Coach Development
    • We want every high school athletic administrator and coach in Indiana to participate in the transformational InSideOut Initiative leadership training program.
  • Officials Recruitment
    • We will continue helping the IHSAA recruit and retain high school officials. Because with no high school officials, there are no high school sports!
