Undergraduate Scholarship Application

These scholarship awards are for students who are graduates of an Iowa high school OR been a member of an Iowa 4-H Club or FFA Chapter, are considered an undergraduate, currently enrolled as full-time, and in good standing in any post-secondary school at the start of the fall term in which the awards are offered. Any changes, intentional or otherwise, in the status of a student may cause the award to be rescinded. Students must have earned 36 credits by January 1, 2026 to be eligible for the Winner’s Circle Undergraduate Scholarships. If you are a current undergraduate with less than 36 credits, you are encouraged to return to this application in future years when you have met the credit requirement. If you will be graduating high school this year and enrolled in a post-secondary school in the fall, please find the Incoming Freshman Scholarship Application instead.
