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

SSB 1049 modifies Iowa's National Guard Service Scholarship Program, which provides tuition assistance to Iowa National Guard members attending eligible Iowa colleges. The bill changes how scholarship amounts are calculated, stating awards cannot exceed the difference between the institution's tuition rate and any federal financial aid received under 10 U.S.C. §2007. It also removes a previous provision prohibiting eligibility or award decisions based on a member's unit, drill location, or whether they serve in the Army or Air National Guard. The program remains administered by the College Student Aid Commission for qualifying Iowa National Guard members.
