Changes would affect veterans' STEM scholarship eligibility and extend pension payment limits.
This bill would change how veterans can get the Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship, altering eligibility requirements and setting new priority rules. It would also extend the time certain limits can be placed on veterans' pension payments by about 16 months.
Today, the Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship has specific educational assistance thresholds of 60 and 90 months, and there are no explicit priority rules for those who have used the most aid or declared a STEM major. Also, certain limits on veterans' pension payments are set to expire on November 30, 2031. After this bill, the STEM scholarship thresholds would change to 45 and 67.5 months, new priority rules would be added, and individuals would need to use all other educational assistance first. The limits on pension payments would be extended to March 31, 2033.
