How do I apply for scholarships and why aren there more merit-based scholarships based on academic achievement alone?
You can access information about scholarships by visiting our scholarship website. Our scholarship website may refer you to other University of Iowa and non-University related sites. Many students utilize counselors, teachers, and administrators at their high schools or may contact other local community agencies for information about scholarships. The UI has a long history of developing scholarship and grant programs that help provide access to those who otherwise may not be able to attend. Although we allocate a significant amount of University dollars to merit scholarships, 80% of our need-based and merit scholarships are awarded to students who complete the FAFSA annually and demonstrate financial need.
