Tuition Assistance Reduced to 70%

The Iowa National Guard has announced that, for the remainder of the academic year 2009-2010 the maximum IANG Tuition Assistance award has been set at 70% for the Regents average tuition rate. Before the 2009-2010 academic year began, the tuition rate had been set at 100%, but early in the year it became clear that, based on the number of applcants, there would not be enough to fund at the 100% rate. Thus the rate was reduced to 80%.

When Governor Culver announce an across the board 10% budget reducation across all divisions of state government, the National Guard reduced the rate to 70%. The Guard announced that the remaining 30% would be made up by Fed TA and that the Fed TA application process would be handled internally by the National Guard..
