Iowa College Aid

We advocate for and support Iowans as they explore, finance and complete educational opportunities beyond high school to increase family and community success.

The Iowa College Student Aid Commission (Iowa College Aid) is a state agency that helps make college possible for all Iowans. We do this by administering state-funded financial aid awards, engaging schools and communities to develop a college-going culture and serving as a trusted resource of postsecondary education data. Our initiatives provide a statewide support to help Iowans stay in the education pipeline until degree/credential completion, ensuring that they are better prepared for current and future career opportunities.
