Iowa State University offers a variety of scholarship opportunities for incoming and current students. These include merit-based, need-based, and departmental scholarships. Merit-based awards, such as the National Scholars Program, recognize academic excellence. Need-based scholarships consider financial circumstances and require FAFSA submission.
Departmental scholarships are specific to colleges or majors, like engineering or agriculture. External scholarships, from organizations or employers, are also viable options. Students should review the university’s financial aid portal and departmental websites for eligibility criteria and deadlines. Early application and thorough research maximize opportunities for funding.
