Your Support Makes a Difference
$160
Meals for a Week
IAIA’s Café Bon Appétit serves healthy meals with fresh ingredients grown by local farmers. A donation of $160 can provide a student with 14 campus meals for a week, ensuring they receive the necessary nutrition to learn and thrive.
$1,680
New Laptop Purchase
Many of IAIA’s incoming students do not own a laptop. Others require an upgraded device to utilize the latest software relevant to their field of study. A new laptop equips a student to leverage technology to support their artistic and career goals.
$5,480
Annual Tuition
Often, IAIA students report that they would not be able to attend IAIA without the support of scholarships. A donation of $5,480 can alleviate financial stress by covering the annual tuition for a full-time undergraduate student.
“I didn’t think I was capable or smart enough to get a higher education, but IAIA taught me to value myself, to know that I could accomplish what I put my mind to, to chase my dreams.”
—Tiffanie Irizarry (Ihanktonwan Dakota, Fort Peck Tribes) ’22 IAIA Valedictorian
