A tribute to Doug Couto
About the program
CAMBUS student employees with at least one year of service are eligible to apply for the academic scholarship. Recipients are selected by a committee based on their work record, contributions to the workplace, and short-form written answers about the impacts of CAMBUS as a service and as a student employment opportunity.
The CAMBUS scholarship program was established by Doug Couto, who graduated from UI Tippie College of Business in 1972, and is also a CAMBUS alum. While in the residence halls at Iowa, Couto and a few friends started a voluntary busing service from the west residence halls over to main campus. UI President Sandy Boyd heard of this project and officially funded it as a university program in 1972. After a student naming contest, the name “CAMBUS” was chosen for the system. Couto worked in transportation after graduating from Iowa and dedicated his philanthropy to establishing the CAMBUS Scholarship in 2021.
