Ramona Ann Mayer Scholarship

The Ramona Ann Mayer Scholarship was created to assist undergraduate students who have a disability to complete their education. Under scholarship guidelines the preference is to award the scholarship to students who have physical disabilities. This fund was established in 2014.

Multiple scholarships will be awarded for the academic year. Previous applicants and awardees are encouraged to reapply.

Eligibility Requirements:

  • An individual must have a disability that substantially limits one or more of life’s activities. Verification of a disability from an appropriate authority must be provided if the student is not registered with Student Disability Services.
  • Applicants must demonstrate financial need. A Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA) must be filed. Your application provides SDS the permission to contact Financial Aid to confirm demonstrated need. International students instead must complete the International Student – Financial Need Addendum and attach it to this application.

Components of the Scholarship:

  • Application submitted through the Scholarship Portal.
  • Documentation of your disability (if you are not currently registered with Student Disability Services).
  • A personal essay describing why you are deserving of the scholarship and how the money will be used to help you with educational expenses.

Questions regarding the scholarship can be sent to sds-info@uiowa.edu.
