Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities
The Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities (IAMU), through its Education and Research Fund, is pleased to offer two scholarship programs for graduating Iowa high school seniors and recent graduates – a scholarship program for students pursuing a post-secondary program with a utility focus and a general scholarship program for children or grandchildren of IAMU members.
Utility-Focused Scholarship
Each $1,000 scholarship will be distributed to the educational institution. To apply, candidates must fill out and submit the scholarship application.
To be eligible for consideration, candidates must:
Live in a residence that is a verified customer of an IAMU member or attend a high school that is a verified customer of an IAM member. If you are unsure whether your local area is an IAMU member, contact your city hall.
Be a 2022 graduating high school senior or have previously graduated from high school.
Be attending a post high school education program located in Iowa in the fall of 2024.
Preference will be given to applicants entering a utility-related career with a special preference to applicants entering utility-related trades programs leading to careers in difficult to fill utility careers such as, as an example only, electric line worker, water treatment or distribution operator, or operator qualified natural gas positions.
General Scholarship
Each $500 will be distributed to the educational institution. To apply, candidates must fill out and submit the scholarship application.
To be eligible for consideration, candidates must:
Attend college/technical school within the state of Iowa.
Have a parent/grandparent/legal guardian who is an employee of an IAMU-verified member.
Have a 3.0 minimum GPA.
If you have any questions about the scholarship programs, please feel free to contact IAMU at scholarship@iamu.org .
Organized in 1947, IAMU represents 754 municipally owned broadband, electric, gas, and water utilities statewide. Through this scholarship program, IAMU continues its mission to support and strengthen Iowa’s municipal utilities.
