What’s in it

AI summary Iowa is creating a new scholarship program to help students with intellectual, developmental, or learning disabilities pay for college tuition and fees. To qualify, students must be enrolled in an approved transition program in the state. The state will prioritize giving these scholarships to people who live in Iowa, provided that enough money is set aside each year.¹
