HSB 4 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act modifying provisions related to the national guard service scholarship program.

This bill modifies Iowa's National Guard service scholarship program for state university students. It changes the scholarship cap to cover tuition minus any federal aid received under 10 U.S.C. §2007, instead of previously capping at resident tuition rates. It also removes a prior rule prohibiting decisions based on a member's unit, drill location, or whether they serve in the Army or Air National Guard. The change affects Iowa National Guard members using the scholarship at eligible colleges. The program continues to require minimum awards of 50% of resident tuition if funds are limited.
