HR 5785 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend title 38, United States Code, to modify the requirements of the Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship.

HR 5785 modifies the Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship for veterans and military dependents pursuing STEM degrees. It updates eligibility by adding "or graduate" to degree requirements, reduces maximum benefit periods from 60 to 45 months for undergraduate and 90 to 67.5 months for graduate study, and adds new priority criteria for beneficiaries who've used the most entitlement months or are studying STEM fields. The bill also requires veterans to exhaust all other educational benefits before using this scholarship. These changes directly affect individuals seeking STEM education benefits under the program.
