Last day for Applications - School Technology Advancement Account
The Office of School Finance will accept School Technology Advancement Account applications from June 19 through July 12, 2019. Per Indiana Code 20-49-6-4, there is $5 million appropriated for STAA loans. School officials can use STAA funds for the purchase of computer hardware and software to be used for student instruction and for the development and implementation of innovative technology projects. The loans must be executed by June 15, 2020.
The application process for STAA has been changed in recent years. School officials interested in submitting a STAA application can complete an online application here. Please note the application must be completed in one sitting as no applications can be saved and revisited on the website. You may download a sample application and the certification page from Moodle that can be completed and used to assist with the online data entry.
If you have questions concerning this memo, please email Skii or Melissa here.
