What’s in it

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.
