College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Scholarships

Transfer


Scholarships for incoming transfer students in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences



Application Period: Dec 26 through Feb 15


These scholarships are for new incoming transfer students who will be attending Iowa State University for the FIRST TIME next fall.

Scholarships are awarded in varying amounts to students enrolled in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (full-time student carrying 12 or more credits). Applications must be submitted online starting December 26 prior to year of entry. The priority deadline for transfer scholarship applications is February 15. Applications received between February 16 and June 15 will be given consideration for a limited number of scholarships as supplies last.

Scholarship Eligibility Requirements

You must be enrolled in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences for scholarship eligibility.

Scholarship winners are selected by the College Scholarships and Awards Committee based on specific criteria listed for each scholarship, plus academic achievement, professional promise and leadership. Most of the scholarships awarded require students to show financial need.

Financial need guidelines:

  1. We strongly suggest that you submit a Free Application of Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by February 14 so that your estimated need is available when selections are made.
  2. List Iowa State University on your FAFSA form.
  3. FAFSA forms are available online at the Student Financial Aid website or go directly to www.fafsa.ed.gov.

NOTE: Although the official FAFSA deadline is March 1, we encourage filing before March 1 because if you wait until the last minute and there is a technical problem (ice storm, power outage, system is jammed because of too many submissions at once, etc.) your FAFSA score will not get to us in time.

Scholarship recipients are notified in April. Awards payments will be distributed in equal installments at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters and credited to the student's university account.

Departmental scholarships also are available. Contact the department's office for information. Click here for a listing of departmental scholarship website links.

For questions, contact the office of the associate dean for academic programs at 515-294-6614.
