Ten $1,000 Awards

How can I qualify?

Visit the College Funding Forecaster tool during the registration period. After completing the tool, you will have the option to register by submitting your information.

Can I enter more than once?

Only one entry is allowed per student. Either the parent (or guardian) or the student may register, but any duplicate entries will be disqualified from consideration.

Parents and guardians of more than one eligible student may enter once for each eligible student.

Who determines the recipients of the College Funding Forecaster Giveaway?

The recipient and alternate names will be randomly drawn from all eligible entries by a neutral third party.

How long will it take to complete the College Funding Forecaster?

The exact amount of time to complete the tool depends on several factors. You may wish to assemble the following items before you begin:

• A financial aid award packet from the college.
• Information about outside scholarships.
• Information on transportation and personal expenses for the school.
• An estimate of savings and earnings from the student and family that will be used to pay for college expenses.

Can I use the College Funding Forecaster Giveaway award to attend college outside of Iowa?

The award can be used at any eligible institution, including those in other states.

Can I use the College Funding Forecaster award to pay for expenses at a community college?

You may use the award for community college expenses.

What if I will not attend college full time in the fall following my high school graduation?

The College Funding Forecaster award may be used even if you are not considered a full time student. However, the award will be paid directly to your college in fall 2019, so your college must consider you an enrolled student for that term.

Why do I receive emails from Iowa Student Loan?

Registered participants may receive notifications about being a finalist for or earning a college scholarship. These emails are only sent during and following the registration period.

Participants who opted to receive additional information from Iowa Student Loan may receive additional emails. If you did not opt in for additional information, you can sign up now.

How do I know if I am receiving an award?

You will be notified by email at the email address you used when registering for the College Funding Forecaster. Please be sure to check your email frequently and follow any instructions for completing required forms or for responding.

When are award recipients announced?

Recipients of the College Funding Forecaster award will be announced approximately four to six weeks after the registration period ends.
