National Scholars Award (University of Iowa)

The National Scholars Award is the University of Iowa's primary merit scholarship for nonresident first-year students. It is awarded automatically to eligible nonresident admits based on GPA and standardized test scores, so there is no separate scholarship application. The award ranges from $2,000 to $15,000 a year and renews for up to four years as long as you keep at least a 2.75 cumulative GPA at Iowa.
