Returning students and incoming graduate students should anticipate their 2025-2026 financial aid package in mid-June. This package will reflect the 25-26 tuition rates approved by the Board of Regents at their June meeting.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is filed each year by students to qualify for institutional and federal financial aid. It’s important to remember to file the FAFSA each year by the annual priority deadline in order to be considered for priority financial aid at Iowa State University.
