  Costs and Financial Aid
Year after year, The University of Iowa has been named "Best Buy" by the Fiske Guide to College.  Iowa's cost continues to to the lowest in the Big Ten, and our programs continue to deliver value for that cost.

Financial aid can take many forms: scholarships, grants, employment, and loan programs.  Taking all these into account, 90 percent of Iowa's undergraduates receive some form of aid.  Even if you think you won't qualify, you should apply.  You may be surprised.  Described below are the specific awards, costs and financial aid for the athletic training program.

For more information about financial aid, visit the Office of Student Financial Aid website.
