Clarke Promise Full Tuition Grant Announced

In an effort to make the power of a Clarke education accessible to residents across Iowa, Clarke University is proud to announce the new Clarke Promise Grant. The award covers full tuition for eligible students entering Clarke in the fall 2025 semester. 

“At Clarke University, we are committed to making education accessible to everyone,” said Executive Director of Admissions Ali Boyd. “With the Clarke Promise, we will provide a tuition-free education for new on-campus resident students eligible for the Iowa Tuition Grant and Pell Grants. We believe that affordability should never hinder your potential, which is why we’ve launched this initiative to support our Iowa students in greatest need.” 

To be eligible for the awards, students must be a resident of Iowa, qualify for the Pell Grant and Iowa Tuition Grant, and live in on-campus housing. Additionally, the Clarke Promise is renewable if you remain a full-time undergraduate student and continue to reside on-campus. The exact amount of the award will vary with each student’s financial situation.
