May 14—Indiana House Republicans from the Wabash Valley are encouraging high school students who want to pursue work-based learning and credentials to apply for a Career Scholarship Account.

* Postsecondary education and/or training;
* Equipment for student's apprenticeship/internship program;
* Certification and credentialing examinations;
* Career coaching and navigation services;
