Iowa offers a world-class education at a lower tuition rate than peer institutions.

We know that the cost of higher education poses significant challenges to students and their families. We're here to help. That means more than offering scholarships. It means dedicated financial literacy support to help choose the best lending solution for you. It means simple breakdowns of financial aid sources and how to qualify for them. Most of all, it means offering an education that leads to great career opportunities. That's the investment we make to help you invest in your future.
