It is declared that for the benefit of the people of the state of
Iowa, the conduct and increase of their commerce, the protection and
enhancement of their welfare, the development of continued prosperity
and the improvement of their health and living conditions, it is
essential that this and future generations of youth be given the
fullest opportunity to learn and to develop their intellectual and
mental capacities and skills; that to achieve these ends it is of the
utmost importance that students attending institutions of higher
education located in Iowa have reasonable financial alternatives to
enhance their access to such institutions; that reasonable financial
access to institutions of higher education will assist youth in
achieving the optimum levels of learning and development of their
intellectual and mental capacities and skills; that it is the purpose
of this chapter to provide a measure of assistance and an alternative
method to enable students and the families of students attending
institutions of higher education located in Iowa to appropriately and
prudently finance the cost or a portion of the cost of higher
education; and that it is the intent of this chapter to supplement
federal guaranteed higher education loan programs, other student loan
programs, and grant or scholarship programs to provide the needed
additional options for the financing of a student's higher education
in execution of the public policy set forth above. Section History: Early Form
