What’s in it
AI summary The Teach Iowa Scholar program would change how it picks students for grants by giving first priority to Iowa residents who are also members of minority groups. It also increases the amount of money students can receive, raising the yearly limit to $6,000 and the five-year total to $30,000.1
Read the official explanation
This bill modifies the teach Iowa scholar program to give first priority to applicants who are minority persons and residents of Iowa, with subsequent priority to residents of Iowa, and raises the annual grant limitation from $4,000 to $6,000 and the total grant limitation over a five-year period from $20,000 to $30,000. Currently, priority is given to applicants who are residents of Iowa.
