ENDOWED ATHLETICS SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT

Providing a

WORLD-CLASS

EDUCATION

is one of the most important things we do for University of Iowa student-athletes.

You can make a difference by establishing an endowed scholarship. Funds are invested in perpetuity, and the earnings are used to provide support for Iowa's student-athletes. As tuition and other costs continue to rise, endowed scholarships have never been more important.

Our student-athletes have an opportunity to hone their leadership skills, give back to local communities, and compete for championships—all while earning a degree. Generous private support makes all of it possible.

"I am so grateful to all of the donors who have made my experience at Iowa possible. Receiving a scholarship is an honor, and it has been humbling to meet many of the families who support Iowa men’s basketball at our annual endowed scholarship event. I really appreciate the chance to say THANK YOU in person."

RISING COSTS

of supporting student-athletes

"We wanted to make a difference—a lasting impact. By endowing a scholarship,we are leaving a legacy, and student-athletes will benefit for generations to come."
