Parents & Families

You are an important part of your student’s college decisions.

Help them consider opportunities for:

• Academic programs – both in-person at a campus near you and online

• College Life & Campus Housing

• Student Resources

• Tuition & Financial Aid

• Scholarship Opportunities are also available!

• DMACC Foundation Scholarships offer over $1 million in annual support to students.

• The Last Dollar Scholarship covers any tuition and fee gaps not covered by federal and state grants/scholarships for eligible Iowa residents enrolled in targeted, high-demand career and technical programs.​​​

Let DMACC support these conversations with our college planning timeline and commonly asked questions.

Visit DMACC​ or schedule a virtual appointment to learn more about how we can help support your student's journey from application to graduation.
