Iowa Grants
These gift sources are available to Iowa residents. In some cases, your state of Iowa residency may require validation. To renew any of the gift sources listed, you must normally apply by the state’s deadline and meet other eligibility requirements.

Iowa National Guard Service Scholarship
The Iowa National Guard Service Scholarship provides annual awards to Iowa National Guard members who attend eligible Iowa colleges and universities. Maximum individual awards cannot exceed the current maximum resident tuition rate at Iowa Regent Universities. The Iowa Adjutant General determines eligibility and award amounts annually. Visit iowacollegeaid.gov/IowaNationalGuard for more information.
Other Programs
Other gift aid programs, such has the Iowa Education & Training Voucher and the All Iowa Opportunity Scholarship, are available from the State of Iowa in limited amounts. These funds currently help Iowa students who have been in foster care, TRIO programs, alternative high schools or are homeless.
These gift sources are available to Iowa residents. If any of these resources are listed on your Financial Aid Award, they should not be viewed as official awards until your eligibility has been approved by the Iowa College Aid Commission. If available state funds are insufficient to pay the full amount of each approved grant, the Iowa College Aid Commission has the authority to administratively reduce the maximum award to an amount less than the statutory maximum.
Students from states other than Iowa should check with the proper agency in their state to receive information on availability of state-sponsored scholarships or grants.
