#GrowIvyIndyGrow

We are your local community college, and we desire to partner with you to meet our service area's education, training, and workforce needs. Ivy Tech Indianapolis is the state's largest Ivy Tech service area, comprising Marion, Boone, and Hendricks Counties, with locations in downtown Indianapolis, Lawrence, Plainfield, 16 Tech Innovation District, and the International Marketplace on the city's northwest side.

At Ivy Tech Indianapolis, we provide Hoosiers with affordable degrees, short-term certificates, and other credentialing or professional development tailored to their needs.

Our Ivy Tech Indianapolis campus serves more than 31,000 students annually through in-person, online, or hybrid learning modalities. Our commitment is to meet the needs of learners wherever they may be—in their homes, on their jobs, through community-based or faith-based organizations, or on our campuses.

Supporting Our Students on Ivy Tech Day

This year, funds generated from Ivy Tech Day will continue to support and advance student success. Investments in our students through academic support, wraparound services, cutting-edge technology and equipment, and scholarships allow Ivy Tech Indianapolis to provide education and training programs that are both accessible and affordable for thousands of families across Indiana.

On Tuesday, April 8, 2025, you can make a difference in the lives of our students by taking part in Ivy Tech Day of Giving. All gifts made on this day will support students in need. #GrowIvyIndyGrow
