Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Fairer scholarship decisions for Iowa Guard members
Beginning July 1, 2025, scholarship officials cannot base eligibility or awards on an Iowa National Guard member’s unit or drill location. They also cannot base decisions on whether the member serves in the Iowa Army or Air National Guard. These protections do not guarantee a scholarship.
Federal aid limits Iowa Guard scholarships
Beginning July 1, 2025, Iowa National Guard scholarships cannot exceed a member’s school tuition minus federal aid under 10 U.S.C. § 2007. Awards also cannot exceed the resident tuition rate at Iowa’s state Board of Regents universities. The existing minimum remains 50% of the lower of those two tuition rates, subject to the federal-aid cap. If yearly funding cannot cover all eligible applicants, the adjutant general and coordinating commission determine how scholarships are distributed.
