State Treasurer Roby Smith announces the 2025 Robert D. Blue Scholarship is open. Soon-to-be and former graduates of any Iowa high school who plan to pursue post-secondary education are encouraged to apply. Awards are based on financial need, an original essay, academic achievement and recommendations.
Smith is a member of the Iowa Centennial Memorial Foundation, which funds the scholarship. “Last year, $8,500 was distributed to seven outstanding students on their education journey,” said Smith. “Let your children, grandchildren and friends know about the Robert D. Blue Scholarship, and this year, it could be a student in your life.”
The Iowa Centennial Memorial Foundation was created in 1949 by Governor Robert D. Blue. At that time, a scholarship fund was established to encourage students to attend Iowa’s institutions of higher learning. In 1990, the Foundation officially named the scholarship after Governor Blue and hopes to encourage the education development of Iowa’s students and their work in public service fields.
Scholarship applications are only accepted online and must be submitted by May 10. Visit rdblue.org to apply and learn more.
