Bureau of Iowa College Aid

The Iowa Department of Education's Bureau of Iowa College Aid was created in 1963 as the Iowa College Student Aid Commission (Iowa College Aid) by the Iowa General Assembly. In July 2023, Iowa College Aid became part of the Iowa Department of Education.

The Bureau of Iowa College Aid is dedicated to making the path to education and training beyond high school easier for Iowans. Iowa College Aid provides college access, career planning, financial literacy, default prevention and outreach services that prepare students to enter and succeed in post-secondary education.
