Indiana Lawmakers Ask IHSAA to Require Financial Literacy Training for Student Athletes

Fort Wayne, IN, October 14, 2026 —

Indiana lawmakers have asked the Indiana High School Athletics Association (IHSAA) to require financial literacy training for student athletes. The request, as described, would put the association at the center of a proposed training requirement.

The information available does not identify the lawmakers who made the request or say when it was made. It also does not specify what the training would cover, how it would be delivered, which students would be included or when a requirement might take effect.

No response from the IHSAA was provided, and the available description does not say whether the association has accepted, rejected or otherwise acted on the request. It does not establish that a policy has been adopted. The request should therefore be distinguished from an approved requirement.

Details about the lawmakers’ rationale were not provided. The available information also does not say whether the request was made through legislation, a formal communication to the association or another channel. No proposed curriculum, implementation schedule or information about oversight was included.

For now, the reported development is limited to lawmakers asking the IHSAA to require financial literacy training for student athletes. The association’s next steps, if any, remain unspecified in the information provided. Further details would be needed to determine the scope of the request and whether it could lead to a formal policy.
