Share the Clarke Promise With a Future Student
As an alumna or alumnus, you know firsthand how a degree from Clarke can transform your future. Now with the Clarke Promise Grant, we are offering that tremendous opportunity to the next generation—and doing it with less debt!
The Clarke Promise is a new full tuition award for eligible students entering Clarke for the Fall 2025 semester or later.
To qualify, a student must:
- Be an Iowa Resident
- Complete the FAFSA
- Qualify for the Iowa Tuition Grant and the federal Pell Grant
- Reside in on-campus housing
Plus, the award is renewable for up to four years, as long as the student remains enrolled in undergraduate coursework on a full-time basis, and lives on-campus.
“We believe that affordability should never hinder potential, which is why we’ve launched this initiative to support our Iowa students in greatest need,” said Julie Cirks, Vice President of Enrollment Management. “This program is just one of the many steps we are taking to make a Clarke education more accessible than ever to hundreds of deserving students.”
Spread the word, join the CARE Society
The Clarke Promise Grant offers an excellent opportunity to talk to the high school or transfer student in your life about Clarke. Your referral can add even more value to their education.
If you complete a referral form for a prospective student and they enroll at Clarke, they will automatically qualify for a $1,000 CARE Society Scholarship for up to four years. Plus, you will be recognized as a member of the CARE Society at Homecoming and through other special events. This is a fantastic way to support your alma mater now and into the future.
