Higher education institutions grant program modifications
This bill (SF 2597) creates a dedicated account within the state's special revenue fund to receive money specifically for "foster grants" for higher education. It directly affects eligible students who are or were in foster care, providing them with financial assistance for college. The key mechanism establishes that funds deposited into this account will be appropriated to the Office of Higher Education commissioner to administer these foster youth grants, modifying existing statute section 136A.1241.
