Sponsor a Scholar

We also want to share a special opportunity to deepen your connection to ICSF. One of our core values is making this festival accessible to those who may not otherwise be able to attend. Our Scholar Program provides full festival access, as well as room and board, to 20 selected artists so they can participate fully and grow their craft here in Iowa City.
If your time at ICSF inspired you and you’d like to help open this door for someone else, please consider becoming a Scholar Sponsor. A sponsorship of $1,500 covers the cost for one scholar to attend the festival. Sponsors will be recognized in our program materials and on-site signage as partners in building a vibrant and inclusive future for songwriting.
