A bill for an act establishing the comprehensive transition and postsecondary program scholarship program and making appropriations.

SF 283 establishes a scholarship program to help Iowa residents with intellectual, developmental, or learning disabilities (age 18+) cover costs at approved postsecondary programs. The program, administered by the College Student Aid Commission with input from vocational rehabilitation services, provides up to $5,000 annually per academic year for tuition and fees at U.S. Department of Education-approved programs. Funds are held in a dedicated state treasury account that carries over yearly, avoiding annual budget reversion. Priority for scholarships is given to Iowa residents applying through an annual process.
