Scholarships are available

One App logoWe have great news! You may be eligible for scholarships as an incoming business student. At Ivy, we offer more than $2.5 million in scholarships, with an average scholarship award of $2,800. That can be combined with other scholarships and support. Once Iowa State University offers you admission, you can apply for scholarships. Make sure to  apply for admission now.

We have a long list of scholarships available, but that’s not something we want you to stress about. Completing one application ensures that you will be considered for all Ivy College of Business scholarships for which you are eligible. We’re doing all we can to make this easier for you.

Ross Wirth Endowed Scholarship

“Donor support has allowed me to focus more on my education and less on financial concerns. Thanks to the Ross Wirth Endowed Scholarship, I’ve been able to dedicate time to my studies, engage more deeply in campus activities, and make the most out of the resources Iowa State offers. This support has truly enabled me to pursue my goals with greater confidence and ambition.”
