The Generations Award is awarded to students who have been offered admission to Iowa State University and who are nonresident children or grandchildren of Iowa State graduates. A graduate is defined as any person who has been awarded a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree from Iowa State University.

The application for the Generations Award must be completed in the OneApp scholarship portal. Students must provide information so the graduation of the parent, step-parent, legal guardian, grandparent, or great-grandparent may be verified. The Generations Award is worth $1,500 per year and can be combined with other merit awards from the Office of Admissions.
