Students Receive up to $7,500 per School Year The Iowa Tuition Grant offers qualifying Iowa families up to $7,500 per year for four years of attendance at an Iowa private college or university. In other words, if you or your student is considering attending an Iowa private institution, a total of $30,000 of assistance can be available over the course of a four-year degree program.
