Scholarship Fund

Establishing a scholarship fund with the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa gives local students the opportunity to pursue their educational dreams through your scholarship fund.

Help Students In Need

Through this partnership, students can have greater access to higher education and you can create a scholarship that meets your vision and benefits students who demonstrate financial barriers.

The increasing cost of education beyond high school and additional financial burdens associated with post-secondary education have created an even greater need to support students. CFNEIA recognizes that other factors further affect equity in education, especially for non-white, refugee/immigrant, indigenous, disabled, LGBTQ+, and other underserved populations who face systemic barriers throughout society. Scholarships are one of the best tools to address this need in our community.

As the largest scholarship provider in Iowa outside of the university systems, we partner with individuals, families, and corporations through scholarships that leave a legacy, honor a loved one, or provide direct scholarship support to your alma mater.

In 2024, CFNEIA and our donors awarded 253 scholarships totaling more than $800,000 to transform the lives of first-generation, low-middle-income, and other deserving students through the gift of higher education.

A scholarship fund can be established with a minimum gift of $25,000.
