What’s in it
AI summary Iowa will require a certain amount of tuition grant money to go toward students studying for jobs that pay well and are in high demand. To make this happen, a state board will work with colleges to create a specific list of those types of jobs. This change affects how the state distributes financial aid to college students.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.
