  • Total costs for an academic year at Iowa State University will depend largely on your lifestyle, choice of major(s), and year in school.
  • Your tuition, fees, and room & board charges in university housing are all approved by the Board of Regents, State of Iowa.
  • Room/Board varies depending on housing options. Contact the Department of Residence for your specific situation.
  • Financial Aid for Summer terms is also available. A separate application is required for Summer Financial Aid. The form is available on AccessPlus for current students and is also available online on our Summer Aid Information site (available April 1).
