Robert Blue Scholarship

The Iowa Centennial Memorial Foundation was created in 1949 by Governor Robert D. Blue to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Iowa’s acceptance into the union. At that time, a scholarship fund was established to encourage the youth of the state to attend Iowa’s fine institutions of higher learning.

In 1990, the Foundation officially named the scholarship to honor the late Governor Robert D. Blue. To date, the scholarship fund has helped hundreds of Iowa students attend colleges and universities across the state. The Foundation hopes to encourage the educational development of Iowa’s students and their participation in public service fields as a benefit to all Iowans.
