261.101 LEGISLATIVE INTENT.
The general assembly finds that the failure of many young Iowans
to complete their education limits their opportunity for a life of
fulfillment and hinders the state's efforts to provide a well-trained
workforce for business and industry in Iowa. The general assembly
also declares that it is the policy of this state to apply positive
measures to ensure that equal opportunities exist for minority
persons to pursue their educational goals. Therefore, the "Iowa
Minority Academic Grants for Economic Success" program is established
to provide additional funding to the state board of regents
institutions, community colleges, and accredited private institutions
in order to encourage resident minority students to remain in Iowa,
to attend community colleges, private colleges, and universities in
Iowa, and to assure that a limited family income will not be a
barrier for a minority person to pursue a postsecondary education.
