(Washington D.C.) Iowa U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley and all members of the Iowa delegation welcomed the news that thousands of Iowa students will now benefit from over $25 million in estimated federal aid over the next seven years.
Recent issues with the Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs application review process caused Iowa to lose out on funding for the past several years. In 2022, Grassley led the entire Iowa Delegation in writing the Department of Education to call attention to these problems and followed up in 2023 to request reforms to the application review process.
The Department of Education then committed to making these reforms, opening the doorway for Iowa students to receive aid again.
