He or she must have completed the equivalent of two semesters of full-time course work at The University of Iowa, have a strong academic record, and demonstrate potential for success in the field of education.
Several scholarships are available to students for the semester in which they student teach.
The scholarships are based on need, grade-point average, and future plans for teaching. Applications are accepted each spring from students who will student teach either semester of the following year. Scholarships are available each year for experienced teachers who are working toward licensure or an advanced degree in educational administration. Applications are accepted each spring for the following summer or school year. Information and application forms for loans or scholarships are available from the director of external relations in the dean's office.
