Students must meet the following criteria to be eligible for the Tuition-Free Guarantee:
- First time, full-time student entering in Fall 2022 and beyond
- High School GPA 2.75+ as determined by your final high school transcript (beginning Fall 2023)

How is the amount of the Tuition-Free Guarantee determined?
- The amount is the difference between full-time tuition and federal, state and institutional grants and scholarships. This amount may be adjusted as ISU becomes aware of other grant or scholarship eligibility of the student.
- The value may vary from year to year.
Is the Tuition-Free Guarantee renewable?
- May be renewed for 8 consecutive semesters as long as the student continues to meet the above eligibility criteria, maintains Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) and files the FAFSA by April 15th each year.
