Transfer Student Scholarships

How to Apply

Our scholarship applications are through a system called OneApp.

What account do I use to sign into OneApp?

• Students who have already accepted their offer of admission will use their Net-ID account [netid]@iastate.edu.
• If you have been admitted to Iowa State, but have not yet accepted your offer of admission, you will use your Admissions account.
• Your Admissions account was created when you either registered for a campus visit or submitted your application for admission. You will be asked to convert your Admissions account to a Net-ID after you accept your offer of admission.

Register for a NetID 

• After you have accepted your offer of admission, the next time you sign into your My Account page with your Admissions account, you will be prompted to register your Net-ID.
• Use your 9 digit University ID to register.
• Found in the acceptance packet that was mailed to you.
  • If you lost your packet, call our Admissions Office at 800-262-3810. (For security purposes, University IDs are not given via email.)
  • Contact the Solution Center if you experience a problem registering.
• A confirmation screen will appear if you have successfully registered your Net-ID and converted your existing Admissions account to your university Net-ID. Your new Net-ID should be used to sign into all university systems.
• It can sometimes take overnight for the account to become fully activated. It is recommended to wait overnight and attempt your first login the following day after creating the Net-ID.

The scholarship application start date for spring 2026 entry transfer students coincides with the OneApp start date set by the Office of Student Financial Aid – tentatively set for September 15, 2025 but subject to change.
