The Lipsky Graduate Application Fund Application Guidelines

The Lipsky Graduate Application Fund encourages current Coe students to apply for admission to graduate programs in universities of distinction and encourages Coe faculty to foster achievement in graduate study for outstanding students.

Approved Programs: The fund will pay for the cost of the application fee for up to three graduate schools. The Program of Study must be in a fully accredited and nationally recognized graduate school outside the state of Iowa. (See list of approved universities on reverse.) Professional schools are included for consideration under this fund.

Students must also submit a letter of recommendation from a Coe faculty member who is familiar with their undergraduate work and can assess their potential in graduate school

Student Responsibilities: If the application fee requests are approved, the student has the responsibility to inform the Provost’s Office of any graduate school acceptance(s).
