(e) A CSA participating entity that receives a grant amount under subsection (d) may enter into an agreement with one (1) or more intermediaries (as defined in IC 22-4-2-41) or other CSA participating entities to share a grant amount received under subsection (d).

The department may revoke an initial approval under this subsection if the provider fails to achieve an adequate outcome as determined by the department. (j) A grant awarded under this section to an eligible school (as defined in IC 20-51-1-4.7) does not count toward a student's choice scholarship amount calculated under IC 20-51-4-5 and is not subject to the maximum choice scholarship cap under IC 20-51-4-4.

The numerator of the fraction is the amount of the credential completion grant that the recipient would have received if a reduction were not made under this section. The denominator of the fraction is the total amount that would be distributed as credential completion grants to all recipients if a reduction were not made under this section.
