Bill > HR2034

This bill modifies the Edith Nourse Rogers STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Scholarship, which provides educational assistance to veterans. The key changes include reducing the maximum number of months of scholarship benefits from 60 to 45 months and from 90 to 67.5 months. The bill also establishes a new priority system for awarding the scholarship, prioritizing individuals who have used the most months of educational assistance and those pursuing a STEM major. Additionally, the bill stipulates that recipients can only use this scholarship after exhausting their other educational assistance benefits under the chapter. The bill also extends certain limits on pension payments from November 30, 2031, to March 31, 2033. These modifications aim to refine the scholarship program's eligibility and usage rules, potentially making it more targeted and efficient for veterans seeking STEM education.
