Program Description
The Iowa College Student Aid Commission (Iowa College Aid) is a state agency with a Governor-appointed Board of Commissioners. We are the only agency in Iowa that works across all sectors of higher education. Our mission is to advocate for and support Iowa students as they explore, finance and complete educational opportunities beyond high school to increase family and community success. We also view increasing college attainment as among the most effective and sustainable strategies for encouraging economic growth and fighting poverty.
The LCAN grant program is an important part of this overarching goal. Iowa College Aid is a partner in the Governor’s Future Ready Iowa (FRI) initiative. LCANs directly contribute to the FRI goal that 70% of Iowa’s workforce has education beyond high school by the year 2025.
Iowa College Aid’s Community Engagement Division administers the LCAN Grant Series. While implementing Iowa’s statewide career and college information system several years ago, Iowa College Aid identified the need to build the capacity of college attainment partnerships at the local level. To respond to this need, our agency launched the LCAN program. This initiative offers funding and consultation, training and technical assistance at each phase of LCAN development. The LCAN Grant Series supports cross-sector leadership teams and networks dedicated to increasing college attainment in communities across Iowa. LCAN grant funding supports staff, training, and other expenses associated with creating an LCAN.
