High Schools Athletics

Iowa High School Athletics

The IOWA Foundation aims to support the viability of high school athletics across Iowa. We do so by supporting the recruitment and training of coaches and officials. We also support the student athletes directly by donating equipment and providing scholarships to recruiting services for those facing financial barriers.

Coaching Authorizations

The IOWA Foundation is providing scholarships to cover the cost of Coaching Authorizations in Iowa for those who face financial barriers to obtaining their license. We partner with several approved providers who offer the 55-hour workshop.
