Where do I start?
If you're an Iowa State University student potentially interested in Nationally Competitive Awards, here are some good starting steps:
- Explore the Awards Directory for awards that appeal to you. Visit the website for each award to read the guidelines, eligibility, etc. Note the deadlines. Make a list of awards you are interested in learning more about.
- Check the Campus Deadlines page to see if any of the awards you are interested in have a campus deadline.
- When you are ready to learn more, schedule an appointment with the Coordinator of Nationally Competitive Awards to talk through your options and if you are a good candidate for any awards.
