§ 20-51-4-10 — Distribution to both eligible individual and school

The department shall distribute choice
scholarships at least twice each semester, or at equivalent intervals.
The department may distribute the choice scholarship to the eligible
choice scholarship student (or the parent of the eligible choice
scholarship student) for the purpose of paying the educational costs
described in section 4(a)(1)(A) of this chapter. For the distribution to
be valid, the eligible choice scholarship student (or the parent of the
eligible choice scholarship student) and the eligible school providing
educational services to the eligible choice scholarship student must
annually sign a form, prescribed by the department to endorse
distributions for the particular school year. If:
(1) an eligible choice scholarship student who is receiving a
choice scholarship for a school year changes schools during the
school year after signing the form to endorse distributions for that
school year; and
(2) the eligible choice scholarship student enrolls in a different
eligible school that has not signed the form to endorse
distributions for that school year;
the eligible choice scholarship student (or the parent of the eligible
choice scholarship student) and the eligible school must sign the form
prescribed by the department to endorse distributions for the particular
school year.
