Generations Award - First Year

The Generations Award is awarded to students who have been offered admission to Iowa State University and who are nonresident children or grandchildren of Iowa State graduates. A graduate is defined as any person who has been awarded a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree from Iowa State University.

In order to be considered for this scholarship, students must provide information so the graduation of the parent, step-parent, legal guardian, grandparent, or great-grandparent may be verified. Students may complete the scholarship application form available online below. The Generations Award is worth $6,000 ($1,500/year for four years) and can be combined with the Academic Achievement Award, Expedition Award, or Exploration Award. It cannot be combined with a full-tuition award.

Students who meet the following criteria are eligible to receive the Generations Award:
• Students who have a parent, step-parent, legal guardian, or grandparent who graduated from Iowa State University with a bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree.
• Students who enroll at Iowa State University as a new full-time, nonresident, undergraduate student beginning summer or fall 2025.
• Completion and verification of the OneApp opportunity award application with the alumnus information.

In cases where the alumnus is deceased, please provide the name, graduation date, birth date, and the relationship of the alumnus to the student.
