The iba foundation currently provides post-secondary scholarship and grant awards to qualifying students studying broadcasting and digital media-related fields at the university of northern iowa, kirkwood community college, iowa western community college, iowa lakes community college and marshalltown community college. These annual scholarships and grants assist media students with the payment of tuition and fees. All digital media scholarships and grants are in the nature of gifts to the recipient students, and are not loans.

“Uni digital media leadership program: the foundation supported the uni digital media leadership program with a grant of 110,000. Digital broadcasting, personal media devices, social media, and the internet are dramatically transforming the media industry. Iowa broadcasters will continue to be a part of the digital media landscape, but will require new and creative approaches to remain relevant and to meet audience needs. Digital media of the future will require a new generation of smart, capable, innovative industry leaders. To meet this need, the foundation supports the university of northern iowa (uni) digital media leadership program. The program will be an emphasis within the uni digital media major and now minor. The digital media leadership program curriculum, developed through collaboration between university faculty and iowa broadcasters, emphasizes media trends, economics, marketing and strategic planning along with a comprehensive core in digital media. Graduates will be prepared to provide direction to electronic media of the future. It is expected that annually 15-20 students majoring in the uni digital media leadership program will each be eligible to receive a scholarship for the academic year, funded by the iba foundation. Scholarship grants are made payable to the university of northern iowa foundation as part of the leadership program funding. Recipients of the leadership program scholarships are selected by the university.”

“Archives of iowa broadcasting: the foundation supported the archives of iowa broadcasting with a grant of 20,000. The archives of iowa broadcasting maintains a permanent collection of materials relating to the history and development of radio and television in iowa, accessible to all students and the general public. At the heart of the collection's early development was an effort to record the personal experiences of iowa broadcasters. Today the oral history collection, consisting of over 100 interviews and is but one part of a repository that houses over 1,500 linear feet of books, journals, audiovisual materials, organizational records, photographs, artifacts, and other historically significant materials.”
