We know students who attend college or a trade school increase their career opportunities. CFNEIA supports students pursuing higher education by providing financial support to help them reach their goals. We are the largest independent scholarship provider in Iowa, outside of colleges and universities, awarding over $700,000 in scholarships each year.
Scholarship Opportunities
Community Foundation scholarships are offered annually for high school seniors and college students, as well as adults. Scholarships are for students who will be attending a college, university, trade school, or community college this fall. Each scholarship may have its own eligibility requirements, but there is only one common application to complete.
In addition to scholarships available through CFNEIA’s common application process, we hold scholarship funds for other organizations across our region and beyond with their own applications and criteria.
