How do I apply for the scholarships?
ISSO will send an e-mail each semester to students when they are able to apply for the ISSO scholarships (Fall: mid-September and Spring: mid-February). During the application submission timeframe, students may submit their scholarship application in Cystart.
What do I need to submit with my application?
Students must submit a letter detailing their financial hardship. Only one letter must be submitted for the scholarship application, unless additional documents are required.
What is the last day scholarship applications will be accepted?
The due date for all scholarship submissions will be listed in the scholarship application in Cystart. As a reminder, late applications will not be accepted.
When will I get a result?
It can take ISSO up to approximately one month to award scholarships. Once ISSO makes a decision, an e-mail will be sent to all applicants.
If I receive a scholarship, how will I be given the scholarship?
Your scholarship will be placed on your U-bill during the same semester that you are awarded the scholarship.
How long does it take for the scholarship to be placed on my U-bill?
Your scholarship should be seen on your U-Bill within 2 weeks after you are notified via email that you had been awarded a scholarship.
What should I do if the scholarship doesn’t show up on my U-bill?
Please email isso@iastate.edu if your scholarship doesn’t show up on your U-bill within 2 weeks of being notified.
