Omaha Community Foundation — Southwest Iowa Scholarship Funds (Check Status)

About This Opportunity

The Omaha Community Foundation is not just for Omaha. Its Iowa Affiliates program explicitly covers Pottawattamie County and has a dedicated Southwest Iowa Scholarships page at omahafoundation.org/iowa-affiliates/southwest-iowa-scholarships. Multiple scholarship funds within this program are specifically for Council Bluffs and Pottawattamie County students. The main 2026 universal application deadline was February 15, 2026 — that cycle has closed. However: some individual fund deadlines may extend beyond the universal deadline. Go to omahafoundation.org/iowa-affiliates/southwest-iowa-scholarships to check whether any Council Bluffs-specific funds are still accepting applications. If all 2026 funds are closed, bookmark this page and apply through the universal application when it opens in October 2026 for the 2026–2027 academic year. The universal application matches you to all funds you are eligible for — you apply once and the system finds every scholarship you qualify for. Awards range from $2,000 to $20,000 depending on the individual fund.

Who Can Apply

Varies by individual scholarship fund. Southwest Iowa / Pottawattamie County funds are specifically for CB-area students.

Universal application eligibility is determined by the matching system — apply and let it identify the awards you qualify for.
