For more than a decade, United Way has worked tirelessly to expand access to pre-K in Central Indiana to ensure family income is not a barrier to educational success.

By strengthening language and literacy, critical thinking skills, self-control and building strong self-confidence, high quality pre-K programs support the foundational development of the cognitive, behavioral, and social skills necessary for a child to thrive. 

Indiana state law requires all On My Way Pre-K student scholarships to be funded with a 5% philanthropic match. In Central Indiana, United Way funds that match thanks to the generous support of donors like you.

In our seven-county Central Indiana community, nearly 2,000 students from low-income families receive scholarship support. On average, the philanthropic match requirement totals $112 annually per student. 

For less than $10 a month, your gift can power the start of a child's life-long learning and ensure they enter kindergarten prepared to succeed.
