New tool offers ‘one-stop shopping’ for college aid programs

The Iowa College Student Aid Commission (Iowa College Aid) has announced the addition of its state-administered loan forgiveness programs to the online Iowa Financial Aid Application. The new simplified process makes it easier for applicants to determine eligibility and to apply for the programs. The application, which can be accessed from Iowa College Aid’s website, www.IowaCollegeAid.gov, as well as through the statewide community web portal, www.IHaveaPlanIowa.gov, allows applicants to apply for multiple state-administered financial aid programs with one application.

“We are excited about the addition of the state loan forgiveness programs to the Iowa Financial Aid Application,” said Karen Misjak, executive director of the Iowa College Student Aid Commission. “Students already use the application when applying for state grants and scholarships for college so the addition of the loan forgiveness programs makes sense,” Misjak explained. “The intuitive nature of the online application helps determine an applicant’s eligibility for the state-administered loan forgiveness programs and provides them with the flexibility to save, return, and view an application at any time.”

In addition to the Iowa Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program and the Iowa Registered Nurse and Nurse Educator Loan Forgiveness Program, the Iowa Financial Aid Application enables applicants to apply for the following state-administered financial aid programs:

  • Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship
  • All Iowa Opportunity Scholarship
  • All Iowa Opportunity Foster Care Grant
  • Terry E. Branstad Iowa State Fair Scholarship
  • Education and Training Voucher Program, and
  • Iowa National Guard Education Assistance Program (NGEAP)

Iowa teachers, registered nurses and nurse educators interested in the loan forgiveness programs should access the application to determine if they are eligible. Funding for both programs is limited. Applications received in July, August and September will be given priority consideration.

The Iowa Financial Aid Application is the newest enhancement to the statewide community web portal, www.IHaveaPlanIowa.gov. The online program is a free resource for individuals to investigate career opportunities, explore education options, learn how to use education to meet career goals, and find employment opportunities in Iowa. As early as middle school, students can explore their interests and develop a six-year education course plan that connects high school course work with education and career goals. High school and college students, as well as adults looking to return to college, can research colleges and majors, prepare for standardized tests, search for scholarships, and apply for state financial aid. Iowans looking for a career change or are in need of additional skills to reenter the workforce can match their interests and abilities to career options, as well as search for employment opportunities in Iowa.

To learn more about loan forgiveness programs available in Iowa or about the free resources available through the statewide community web portal, contact Iowa College Aid’s Information Service Center at 877-272-4456. More information about financial aid and products and services that help Iowa families plan, prepare and pay for college is available on Iowa College Aid’s website at www.IowaCollegeAid.gov

    Eating, loving, singing and digesting are, in actuality, the four acts of the mirthful opera known as the freshness, and they pass like bubbles of a grit of champagne. Whoever lets them break without having enjoyed them is a entire fool.

  6. Many people think that financial sprad betting is too risky. Subconsciously, they feel that investing in shares is ethically acceptable whereas betting has down market connotations and morally reprehensible. That is a pity, because the truth is quite different. You buy a share because you believe that the price will rise and you will make a profit. You bet on a share price for exactly the same reason. The only practical difference between buying a share, and betting on the movement of the share price is that you need much more ready cash to buy the share. The costs of buying a share are much greater than placing a bet.Open a GFT Account Hello and welcome to my redesigned site on financial spread betting, which I hope you find both useful and informative, and which reflects the growing demand for informative sites about this increasingly popular way of trading in the financial markets. As I hope you will see I have tried to cover as many different aspects of this apparently simple, yet complex trading method, with examples, explanations and illustrations, as well as demystifying some of the more obscure terms which are often confusing, even to the more experienced trader. As you will see from reading the site and following my trading strategies and advice, financial spread betting, as a way of trading in the financial markets, has much to offer, but it also has many dangers and pitfalls for the unwary. I will highlight all of these for you, so that having read and absorbed all the information, you can then make your own decision on whether spread betting the financial markets is the right trading system for you.
