United States119th CongressHR-2034House of Representatives
Updated: Sep 16, 2025

Summary

This legislation primarily amends the requirements for the Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship, adjusting eligibility criteria by reducing the required remaining educational assistance entitlement or program completion percentage for applicants. The bill establishes new priority categories for scholarship recipients, favoring individuals who have utilized the most months of their educational assistance and those actively pursuing a declared major in a STEM field. A significant change requires individuals to exhaust all other educational assistance benefits before they can use the STEM scholarship. Additionally, the Act extends the sunset date for certain limits on veterans' pension payments, moving it from November 30, 2031, to March 31, 2033.
