Hi all! As I'm researching colleges in Iowa, I'd love to hear about scholarships that might be available there. Could anyone share their experiences or advice on finding scholarships for Iowa schools?
Certainly, there are several scholarships specifically dedicated to students attending colleges in Iowa. Here are a few to consider:
1. The Robert D. Blue Scholarship: This scholarship is awarded to students attending an Iowa college or university, and recipients are selected based on their character, academic record, and intellectual promise.
2. The Iowa Tuition Grant: This is awarded to Iowa residents enrolled in independent, non-profit colleges and universities in Iowa. The amount varies each year and is based on the funding allocated by the legislature.
3. The All Iowa Opportunity Scholarship: This is awarded to Iowa students who have faced challenges in pursuing higher education and show financial need. Priority is given to students aging out of the Iowa foster care system, those adopted from foster care after the age of 16, and those who lost a parent in active military service.
4. The Governor Terry E. Branstad Iowa State Fair Scholarship: This recognizes outstanding Iowa high school seniors who have actively participated in the Iowa State Fair.
5. The Richard 'Sully' Sullivan Memorial Scholarship: This scholarship is for students who have demonstrated leadership and participation in extracurricular activities who will be attending a 2 or 4-year college in Iowa.
6. The Brian Pearson Memorial Scholarship: This scholarship recognizes high school athletes who display good sportsmanship, school/community service, and leadership.
I recommend looking at Appily, where you can find other scholarships based on a wide range of criteria. Additionally, you should reach out to the financial aid offices of the Iowa schools you are interested in as they may have school-specific scholarships available.
Always keep track of deadlines and the required application materials for each scholarship. Remember, every little bit helps when it comes to funding your education! Good luck in your search.
