The Future Ready Iowa Last-Dollar Scholarship is a state-funded program for Iowans who:

  1. Are new high school graduates starting college full-time or adult leaners starting college at least part-time.
  2. Have applied for all other available aid.
  3. Plan to earn a credential for a high-demand job.

This program, as the name implies, is intended to cover any remaining gap between federal and state grants/scholarships and tuition and qualified fees.  Credentials include post-secondary certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees.

To apply students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
