Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship Opportunity Act
This bill modifies the Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship program for veterans. It reduces the maximum months of scholarship use from 60 to 45 and lowers the required benefit usage threshold from 90% to 67.5% for certain veterans. The changes prioritize veterans who have used the most months of their regular education benefits and those pursuing STEM degrees. Veterans must now exhaust all their regular education benefits under Chapter 33 before accessing this scholarship, as specified in new subsection (d)(5). The bill directly affects veterans using education benefits to pursue STEM fields.
