I Believe Scholarship In honor of the members and advisers we have lost since the creation of Iowa FBLA in 1947, the I Believe Scholarship is a group memorial scholarship for first-generation college students. Just as our mission lives on forever, so will the memory of these members, advisers, and alumni. First-generation scholarships are a form of financial aid that focuses on students who are either the first in their family to go to college or whose parents don’t have college degrees. Scholarship Details Value $250 Application Process Applications are due by February 1 Submissions via an online form Submit an Application Eligibility Requirements The student must be a current member of a local chapter of the Iowa Chapter of FBLA.
