Use Your Indiana ESA for AI Tutoring

Aristotle is an approved INESA provider on ClassWallet. Here's how Indiana ESA funds work and how to pay for tutoring.

How the INESA works

Indiana runs two programs on ClassWallet. The first, INESA, serves K-12 students with an IEP or service plan, and siblings may also qualify; Aristotle is an approved INESA provider, live and ready. Awards run up to approximately $20,000 depending on disability level and district (2026–27 funding levels), with siblings up to approximately $8,000. Applications open March 1 at the state portal; details at in.gov/tos/inesa. The program is now administered by the Indiana Department of Education.

To pay for Aristotle, request an invoice through the form below and submit it with ClassWallet Direct Pay.

Indiana's second program, the Career Scholarship Account (CSA), provides $5,000 per year for students in grades 10–12 enrolled in approved career, apprenticeship, or work-based learning programs, with roughly 2,000 seats funded for 2026–27. Applications run March 1 through October 1 at in.gov/tos/csa. CSA funds cover career coaching, credentials, and training; academic tutoring is generally not an eligible expense, so most Aristotle families will use INESA.

Where Aristotle supports Direct Pay, no: your ESA pays Aristotle directly through the program portal. Other programs use reimbursement, meaning you pay first and submit documentation for approval. We will confirm which method applies before you enroll.

Everything your program requires: itemized invoices with the student's name, service dates, and subjects covered. We also provide progress reports and vendor approval documentation on request.

Each student's ESA funds are separate, so each student requires an individual invoice. We prepare these automatically when you sign up.

Answer apps hand your child the solution and forget them when the chat ends. Aristotle teaches the way expert tutors do: it asks your child to explain their thinking, finds the misconception underneath a wrong answer, and guides them with questions until they solve it themselves. It remembers what your child has mastered and plans what to teach next.
