UI Office of Student Financial Aid Tuition Scholarships

The following University of Iowa Tuition Scholarships are awarded by the Office of Student Financial Aid. Scholarship recipients must demonstrate financial need, determined by filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The scholarship amount ranges from $200 up to resident tuition, depending on the amount of the student's financial need. Students must be registered full-time (12 hours per semester).

Scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are depleted. Therefore, students should file their FAFSA and submit all required documents as soon as possible after January 1 for the upcoming academic year. Students are automatically considered for this scholarship once the Office of Student Financial Aid receives the FAFSA information and other required documents. These scholarships are not automatically renewed. Students must reapply each year. A combination of any of the University of Iowa Tuition Scholarships may be received for a maximum of eight semesters.
