What is the Tutor Iowa Award?

The Tutor Iowa Award was developed to assist and support University of Iowa students who are seeking academic support for one or more of their courses and are unable to fund a private tutor due to financial hardship. Any funds received through the Tutor Iowa Award are intended to be used for tutoring services through the Tutor Iowa website and should not be used for any other expenses. The Tutor Iowa Award is administered by Academic Support & Retention.
