Please Note:

This table represents the amount of tuition to be included in a Grant Proposal where the tuition is an allowable cost by the sponsor [see table for USDA]. It is supported by a memo from the Controller's Office, March 2008. "The attached document provides a recap of the Federal regulations relating to the allowability of charging graduate scholarships and fees to sponsored funding." [1-page PDF]

** This table is based on the actual rates for Academic Year (AY) Summer 2009 - Spring 20010 (posted by the Office of the Registrar - http://www.public.iastate.edu/~registrar/fees/ ). All future AY's are increased by 4.20% (calculation based on the average of tuition increases for the two previous AY's and the current AY 2009 -2010). This table and the percentages will be updated each year after the tuition increase has been approved.
