MORE SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

 

In addition to Iowa Lakes scholarships, the Institutional Advancement Office periodically receives notice of other third-party scholarships.  Third-party scholarships are those not funded by Iowa Lakes Community College, its foundations or donors.

This list is meant to be a guide to students for locating other scholarship opportunities; it is the responsibility of students to contact the listed entities for scholarship information such as application process, awarding process, criteria (if not listed), etc.  If the scholarship supplies a hardcopy application or requires a nomination process, students will be directed to contact the Iowa Lakes Institutional Advancement Office.

This Web page takes the place of the More Scholarship Opportunities binders that were located across the five campuses and is maintained by the Iowa Lakes Institutional Advancement Office. 

If students have questions, they may contact the Institutional Advancement Office at 712-362-0410 or 800-242-5106 ext. 4410.
