To apply for grants at the University of Iowa you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). See How to Apply for complete instructions.

Some financial aid programs are subject to the availability of funds (first-come, first-served), and others are not; therefore, aid applications should be completed as soon as possible after January 1 for the upcoming academic year. Students must reapply every year for all financial aid programs. Financial aid applications are processed when all required forms have been received by the Office of Student Financial Aid. Students must have been accepted for admission at the The University of Iowa before their financial aid application will be reviewed.
