A bill for an act establishing the national guard service professional qualification scholarship program.

HB 3 establishes Iowa's National Guard Service Professional Qualification Scholarship Program, providing financial aid to Iowa National Guard members pursuing approved postsecondary credentials. The scholarship covers the full cost of approved educational programs at community colleges, state universities, or accredited private institutions, excluding associate degrees and higher. Eligible members must complete initial training, maintain good performance, enroll in an approved program, and apply for other state/federal aid first. The Adjutant General verifies eligibility and approves educational programs, while unspent funds roll over annually to support the program.
