Incoming Greenlee School students are considered “pre-majors” in Advertising or Journalism and Mass Communication. Incoming student applicants may be freshmen or transfer students from another college or transferring from another department. In order to receive a scholarship, incoming students must be registered as a full-time Greenlee School student in August 2013.
Please read the instructions carefully at the beginning of the application. You will find more information about individual scholarships that are available this year at the bottom of the application. Each scholarship has “selection criteria” that were established by the scholarship donor. Students should apply for all scholarships for which they are eligible.
Financial need is based on the results of your FAFSA – Free Application for Federal Student Aid. To be eligible for scholarships that require financial need, students must submit the FAFSA and the results must be sent to Iowa State University.
The deadline is February 1st. (The 2013 deadline has been extended to February 10th.)
Students are responsible for meeting the criteria such as G.P.A, area of study, financial need, etc. Financial need is based on the FAFSA.
Applications are reviewed in February and awarded by e-mail notification in March each year. Acceptance information will be included in the e-mail and requires a response within the deadline listed in the notification. The scholarship winners are also posted on the Greenlee School website. The scholarships post as 50% of the award in August and 50% in January. To review scholarship awards from previous years, see the awards listed by year in the column on the right side of the page.
