2021-2022 Scholarships
Hello! Here is where you will find scholarships for the 2021-2022 school year. I only post scholarships that I receive paperwork on or am made aware of. There are thousands of scholarships available though, so please don’t only rely on this document. Also, if you know where you are planning to attend college, many institutions have their own scholarships and some of them have fall deadlines. I suggest you go to their website and locate their scholarship pages for information on their specific scholarships.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will also be an important component of applying for college. The FAFSA is open as of October 1st. The address is www.fafsa.gov.
Most of the local scholarships will not be ready until at least January or later - sometimes as late as March, April or even May.
In the meantime, you can also search for scholarships online or through available apps. A few of the recommended websites include: www.myscholly.com, www.fastweb.com, www.studentscholarships.org and https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/scholarship-search. These are just a few of the MANY available websites. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I’m here to help through this process!!!
Here is a link to some additional Iowa scholarships. Some of these are already listed in this Google doc: https://scholarsapp.com/scholarships/in/iowa.
Future Ready Iowa Last-Dollar Scholarship
The Last Dollar Scholarship is a state-funded program that pays tuition and mandatory fees for hundreds of programs offered through Iowa’s community colleges. All students need to do is complete a FAFSA and enroll as a full-time student in the fall. For more information, visit www.iowacollegeaid.gov/LastDollar.
At the bottom of the document you can also find some resources for specific colleges and universities.
