Jump Start Scholars

The Jump Start Scholars program is designed to build connections with peers, faculty, and staff for incoming students needing academic and financial support. The program is led by peer educators (whom we call Pathfinders) and maintains support throughout the fall semester as students enroll in a Jump Start Scholars Strategies course. Students will complete the program with an understanding of their four-year academic plan, university bill and payment method, and campus resources. 

Jump Start Scholars registration will open April 1st, 2025! Please contact jumpstart@uni.edu or call 319-273-4705 with questions!
