The University of Iowa and the Henry B. Tippie College of Business have an excellent record of helping students finance their education through scholarships, grants, loans, and other forms of financial assistance. Approximately 88 percent of Iowa students receive some form of aid.
The Tippie College of Business is fortunate to have many donors who are willing to provide financial assistance to our undergraduate students. The College currently has more than 200 scholarships available to help you pursue your education. To be eligible, you must be admitted to the Tippie College no later than the semester following your scholarship application.
Each year the scholarship application for business majors is posted on the Undergraduate Program website and announced in the Tippie Update during the first week of January. The closing date (no exceptions) for applications is the last day of February. Scholarships are normally awarded near the end of the spring semester.
Prospective first-year students who expect to be admitted directly to the Tippie College should also consider the Tippie Scholars program, which offers additional scholarship money.
Most of our scholarships have specific criteria that include:
- Demonstrated financial need
- Pursuit of specific majors or certificates
- Outstanding scholarship
- Membership in specific student organizations .
In addition, various scholarships specify other relevant factors, including demonstrated community service or preferences for residents of certain counties. Most scholarships require full-time enrollment. Credit hours from Guided Independent Study (GIS) are not counted in total hours required for scholarship eligibility. For more information about scholarships, visit the UI Financial Aid Office website.
You need only submit one application for all College of Business scholarships.
