Tuition Opportunity Program for Iowans (TOPS)

TOP is a groundbreaking full-tuition program for freshmen whose families are unable to contribute financially to their son's or daughter's education. The program was created by UNI to meet the needs of lower income Iowa families who believe attending college is beyond their financial means.
