What’s in it

AI summary Iowa will require a certain amount of money from tuition grants to go toward students studying for jobs that pay well and are in high demand. A special board will create a list of these specific jobs to help decide which majors qualify. This change affects college students applying for state tuition grants.1

Read the official explanation

This bill requires the college student aid commission to award no less than percent of the funds available for Iowa tuition grants each fiscal year to students pursuing majors that correspond to high-wage and high-demand jobs. The bill requires the workforce development board, in collaboration with the Iowa association of independent colleges and universities, to create a list of high-wage and high-demand jobs for this purpose and establishes criteria for the list. The provision requiring the workforce development board to create the list takes effect upon enactment.
