INDIANAPOLIS — Ivy Tech Community College has increased its tuition-free credential offerings thanks to the expansion of the state’s Next Level Jobs initiative.

Additional eligibility requirements include: being an Indiana resident, having a high school diploma, GED or high school equivalency; having not previously earned a Next Level Jobs certificate; and filing a FAFSA.
