Last Dollar Scholarship

Students attending Indian Hills Community College may qualify for the Future Ready Iowa Last-Dollar Scholarship. 

The scholarship is intended to cover tuition for students in fields that lead to high-demand jobs in Iowa. If a student's existing state and federal aid programs do not cover the entire cost for a diploma or associate degree at Indian Hills, the Last-Dollar Scholarship will fill the gap. Eligible programs may change from year to year, so please make sure to check if your program is covered by reviewing our listing of programs per academic year (listed below).

To be eligible, students must enroll at least half-time for the 2024-2025 year. All students must attend orientation, meet with an advisor, remain continuously enrolled, and make satisfactory academic progress (SAP). UPDATE FOR 2024-2025: all eligible students must have filed the 2024-2025 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) by December 31, 2024 (previously July 15, 2024 – extended by the Iowa Department of Education 10/18/24). Qualified students will need to reapply each year.

In the event that available funds are insufficient to pay the full amount of each approved grant, the Iowa Department of Education has the authority to administratively reduce the award. As a recipient of the Future Ready Iowa Last-Dollar Scholarship, students must meet certain criteria to keep the scholarship. Visit educate.iowa.gov for more information about ongoing requirements.

PROVISION CONTINUED FOR 2024-2025
Students must also have a Student Aid Index (SAI - formerly EFC) of less than $20,000 to qualify (Senate File 560: Education Appropriations Bill, signed 06/01/23). Please see the letter of explanation from Iowa College Aid regarding the SAI requirement. If you’d like to estimate your SAI, please use the Federal Student Aid Estimator
