Fayette Campus
We offer renewable merit scholarships that range from $5,000 to $17,000 to incoming freshman at the Fayette campus.
Students must apply to renew scholarships each year and must maintain the academic standards specified. Although some scholarships and grants are not based upon financial need, the amount of an award would be reduced only to comply with state or federal requirements.
In addition, the University awards more than $100,000 each year to its current students who are selected by the UIU Honors and Awards Committee. A sample list of those awards is available online.

General Renewable Scholarships
- Alumni Scholarships are available to sons and/or daughters of previous graduates of Upper Iowa University. Students must be enrolled full-time students during the fall and/or spring semester to qualify for this grant. This grant will apply to all children, including adopted or legal stepchildren and will not exclude those children who are independent of the family due to marriage or age.
- Upper Iowa University Grants are made available to students who show strong academic promise, are capable of doing satisfactory college-level work, and have demonstrated financial need. The amount of remaining financial need will determine the amount of the award. To be eligible, students must gain admission to the University as regular, full-time students and apply for financial assistance.
