**Reorders eligibility and lowers numeric thresholds for the Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship.** It would add new priority categories for certain veterans and STEM majors, and require scholarship use only after other chapter education benefits are exhausted. - Veterans who have used the most months of their chapter educational assistance would receive higher priority for the STEM scholarship.
