2021-22 Student Financial Aid Application Cycle:
On the state level, the FAFSA serves as the primary application for over $53 million in need-based state scholarships and grants. Students can apply for the following state programs by completing the FAFSA:
Upon completion of the FAFSA, all Iowa resident applicants will now have the option to link to the Iowa Financial Aid Application directly from their FAFSA confirmation page. Applicants will have the ability to pre-populate most of their demographic data to the Iowa application in the process. This not only streamlines the federal and state financial aid application process for Iowa applicants but also solidifies access to the Iowa application for individuals who may not be informed of its availability.

State Grants and Scholarships
Scholarship and grant funds are available to assist students in paying educational expenses. Unlike student loans, scholarships and grants are considered gift aid and do not need to be repaid. There is a wide variety of programs available through state, federal and private sources. Because each program is different, it is important to read and understand their specific eligibility requirements and application deadlines.
