Funding opportunities for current students

Please reach out to grad-fellowships@uiowa.edu if you'd like to learn more about potential internal or external funding opportunities.

Employer assistance

Many of our students have a portion of their tuition reimbursed by their employer. Share with your organization or supervisor the learning outcomes associated with earning your MA in Strategic Communication. The skills you gain will benefit your work and your employer's business goals. Often, students will use their work for projects and case studies, providing an even more direct benefit. It is also a winning strategy for employee development and retention.

Veteran benefit

As a military veteran or active-duty service member, you’re entitled to pay zero application fee. If you intend to use veteran’s education benefits, you can get assistance through the Office of GI Bill Services at 319-335-3895 or by emailing registrar-vets-office@uiowa.edu.
