Parent Verification and Permission to Release
By signing this enrollment form, I certify that all of the above information is true and correct, including all income information that has been listed above.
I understand that this application is to apply for the receipt of state funds.
I authorize the 21st Century Scholars Program to verify any information on this application, including verification from school officials, case workers and from
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Indiana Department of Revenue (IDOR).
Upon request, as a parent or legal guardian, I agree to provide all of my income information including tax forms, W-2 forms and any other supporting
documentation.
I understand that misrepresentation will terminate my student’s enrollment in this program and may subject me to prosecution under applicable state and
federal laws.
I give permission for the Indiana Commission for Higher Education to obtain the applicant’s Student Test Number (STN) and related information from the Indiana
Department of Education.
I authorize the release of my student’s information to providers of education, to the school my student attends, community partner organizations approved by
the school, and to CHE staff so that information and assistance can be provided to my student.
I understand any released information will not be shared for commercial purposes.
I certify that my student is a full-time student at a public or nonpublic school that is accredited either by the state board of education or by a national or regional
accrediting agency whose accreditation is accepted as a school improvement plan under IC 20-31-4-2.
I understand and authorize that the information presented in this 21st Century Scholars enrollment application is accurate.
I acknowledge and understand my student must be Title IV eligible to receive 21st Century Scholarship funds. Having a Social Security Number does not
automatically make a student Title IV eligible. Failure to be Title IV eligible by April 15th of your student’s senior year of high school automatically disqualifies
him/her from receiving the 21st Century Scholarship.
I give consent for this information to be used to submit an application on my behalf by the recruiting organization listed on this form.

Security Number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, sign below.
I hereby certify that I, the parent or legal guardian signing this application worksheet, do not have a Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). I further understand
that not having a Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) will not adversely affect the determination of eligibility for the Program.
