Completed IAF applications are due by 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 1 (if applying for travel funds, this deadline is for research applications or any trips occurring between March 1 - March 31). The Intercollegiate Academics Fund (IAF) is a yearly allocation of Student Activity Fee monies that exists to promote and support intercollegiate academic experiences for University of Northern Iowa students. Specifically, the IAF supports students in two ways: 1) through a travel fund for students who participate in intercollegiate academic competitions and presentations at professional conferences; and 2) through a research and creative activity fund which supports student research and creative activities. See the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs website for more details.
