Upper Iowa University is a proud recipient of The American Legion of Iowa Foundation scholarship award program. Thanks to their generosity, two UIU students will each receive a $1,000 scholarship. Recipients must be a veteran, spouse of a veteran, dependent child of a veteran, or active military service person, and resident of Iowa. The students will be formally recognized during the UIU Honors & Awards Banquet, set for Saturday, April 12, 2025, on the Fayette Campus.
