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 help fill the gap.

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 eligible students and ongoing requirements.

PROVISION CONTINUED FOR 2025-2026
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.

Important Deadline: The FAFSA form for 2025-26 school year must be submitted by December 31, 2025.

The amount of grant money you receive from the Iowa Department of Education may change based on state funding. Eligible programs may also 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).
