Tuition Assistance Application Process

1. Complete and submit your application:
   • Fill out your tuition assistance application and route it via Workflow to your supervisor before the application deadline.
   • If your supervisor is unavailable, select an alternate supervisor from the list, search for their name, and submit.
2. Supervisor approval:
   • Your supervisor (or alternate) must approve your application by the supervisor’s deadline for it to be considered for an award.
   • Once approved, your supervisor will route the application through Workflow, completing the process.

How Applications are Awarded

1. UI coursework applications:
   • Applications for UI coursework are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis as funding allows, based on the order they are received after obtaining supervisor approval.
   • You will receive an email notification with the awarded amount.
2. External (non-UI) coursework applications:
   • If funds are available after awarding UI coursework applications, completed applications for external (non-UI) coursework will be considered after the supervisor's approval deadline. 
   • These are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, following the Priority System established by the Board of Regents, State of Iowa.
   • You will receive an email notification with the awarded amount.
3. Notification:
   • You will be notified via email whether or not you have been awarded tuition assistance.

   • Monitor your application to confirm it is complete, with your supervisor’s approval and forwarding through Workflow by their deadline.
2. Registration:
   • You may complete your application before registering for a course, but you must register for the course listed on the application.
