A sponsored contract is an external source that is responsible for the reimbursement of tuition cost for a designated student. In general, a sponsored contract is anything other than a student loan or other type of financial aid. The sponsor can be defined to a country, person, or a state/federal agency. It is the responsibility of the Accounts Receivable Office to initiate billings to the individual sponsor for reimbursement.

Types of Sponsors:

• International Students
• Post Secondary
• Vet Med
• Federal Agencies
• State Agencies
• Trust Funds
• ROTC

International Sponsored Students

It is necessary for all international students to contact Becky Zama at the International Students and Scholars Office at 3248 Memorial Union upon arrival at Iowa State University. The billings that are presented to your sponsor are based on the information provided to the ISSO Office.

Post-Secondary Sponsored Students

Post-Secondary forms are received by the Registrar’s Office for the enrollment of those students participating in the Post-Secondary program.

Trust and Special Sponsored Students

For Trust and Special sponsored students a letter is forwarded to the institution identifying the actual tuition cost that will be paid according to the trust. A sponsor billing statement is submitted to the attorney that is in charge of the trust fund.

ROTC Sponsored Students

At the beginning of each semester, a roster is submitted to the Accounts Receivable Office from the Army, Navy and Air Force ROTC units. These rosters identify the ROTC scholarship recipients and the amount to be awarded for the given term.
