What’s in it
AI summary The Teach Iowa Scholar program would change how it picks people to receive grant money. Instead of prioritizing Iowa residents first, the program would now prioritize students renewing their grants, graduates of certain teaching programs, and minority applicants. It also increases the amount of money students can receive each year and over five years.1
Read the official explanation
This bill modifies the teach Iowa scholar program to give first priority to applicants seeking renewal of their grant awards, then to applicants who are graduates of approved practitioner preparation programs, then to applicants who are minority persons, with subsequent priority to residents of Iowa, and raises the annual grant limitation from $4,000 to $7,500 and the total grant limitation over a five-year period from $20,000 to $37,500. Currently, priority is given to applicants who are residents of Iowa.
