The balance between "price" and "cost" equals the bottom line

Never cross off any college or university from your list based solely on the stated price for tuition, room and board.  That's a mistake.  At Upper Iowa University we offer aggressive financial aid and scholarship programs to help you graduate with less debt! 

The vast majority of students qualify for merit-based and/or need-based financial assistance.  And this means that the actual cost – the bottom line – of your college education could be far less than the full price.  Merit- based and need-based financial aid must be considered when reviewing cost to attend.  The easiest way to determine your cost to attend and what you qualify for in financial aid is to contact your Admission Counselor at 800-553-4150 Option 2.

At Upper Iowa, we have a full array of merit-based and need-based resources to help you balance your college budget.  Some of this assistance is in the form of grants and scholarships, which never have to be repaid.  Other aid is in the form of low-interest loans, which you repay over a period of time, usually starting after graduation.

Flexibility is the key – Upper Iowa bends over backwards to help you

When it comes to financing a college education, everyone's situation is unique.  At Upper Iowa, we pride ourselves on our personal approach and our flexibility.  We'll work with you individually to develop the financial assistance package that best fits your unique circumstances.
