The state is giving working adults in Iowa at least 1,000 reasons — in dollars per academic year — to return to school to complete their bachelor’s degrees. Iowans who have 64 college credits (equivalent to select associate degrees from DMACC and other community colleges) and who haven’t taken college courses for two or more years are eligible for a Future Ready Iowa Grant to help pay tuition expenses. The deadline to apply for the grants, which provide between $1,000 and $3,500 per academic year, is July 1. More information about the Future Ready Iowa program and eligible programs can be found here. To register online for a free information session via Zoom provided by Simpson College, use this link.
