Iowa College Student Aid Commission

Applying to college will be less stressful if you are prepared. The summer before your senior year is the time to start your college search. Visit colleges that interest you. Keep location, academics and safety in mind. A campus tour can be scheduled with an on-campus admissions representative. Request college applications and informational packets. Iowa College Aid has provided tips on applying for college as well as preparing and planning.

Every year thousands of Iowa students and families benefit from the services of the Iowa College Student Aid Commission. Iowa College Aid is a state agency that advocates for Iowa students and administers scholarship, grant, loan and related programs to help students finance education expenses at colleges and universities of their choice. Iowa College Aid services include administration of student financing, information services, research, and program evaluation.

We advocate for, and provide a continuum of services to support, Iowa students and families as they explore and finance educational opportunities beyond high school.
