I live in Iowa and I'm trying to find scholarships that are available for students from my state. Can anyone share information about local or state-specific scholarships?
Sure thing! Iowa offers several scholarships specifically geared toward residents of the state. Here are some examples:
1. The "Robert D. Blue Scholarship" is awarded by the Iowa State Treasurer's office. The eligibility criteria include being an Iowa resident, planning to attend an Iowa college/university, and demonstrating literary and scholastic ability, moral character, and potential leadership qualities.
2. The "Iowa Tuition Grant" is available to residents who enroll in undergraduate degree programs at one of Iowa's eligible private colleges and universities, with demonstrated financial need.
3. The "Governor Terry E. Branstad Iowa State Fair Scholarship" recognizes Iowa high school seniors who have been active participants in the Iowa State Fair. Weighs factors such as fair participation, GPA, community service, and financial need.
4. "The Brian Pearson Memorial Scholarship" recognizes outstanding athletes from within the state. One scholarship annually is awarded to one male and one female Iowan who've demonstrated exemplary character, citizenship, and athletic achievement.
These are just some examples and each scholarship has its own specific eligibility and application requirements. I recommend you check the specific details of the scholarships on the respective website or contact the relevant bodies for accurate and comprehensive information. It's also worth noting, that you may have more options open to you based on your school, intended major, extracurricular activities, family background, etc. Good luck with your search!
