A bill for an act authorizing resident students who are admitted to and in attendance in a comprehensive transition and postsecondary program to participate in the Iowa tuition grants program.
HF 2012 allows Iowa residents with intellectual disabilities enrolled in approved comprehensive transition and postsecondary programs to access the state's tuition grants program. These programs, approved by the U.S. Department of Education, provide academic, career, and independent living instruction. Eligible students may receive grants covering up to two semesters of resident tuition and mandatory fees annually for a maximum of eight semesters. The grants are paid at the start of each semester by the educational institution, with refunds required if a student withdraws after receiving payment.
