Scholarships
The University of Iowa offers more than 2,000 scholarships each year to outstanding undergraduate students based on financial need, academic merit, or both. Students may receive multiple scholarships, and receiving a UI scholarship will not disqualify students from also receiving need-based grants or loans offered through the UI Office of Student Financial Aid.
