You must be admitted to a degree program at The University of Iowa before your financial aid application will be reviewed. Financial aid applications at The University of Iowa are processed as they become complete and until all funds are awarded. Some financial aid programs are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. The University of Iowa does not set aside funds to award in January for mid-year transfer students.
