Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship Opportunity Act of 2025

This bill makes it easier for veterans using the Post-9/11 GI Bill to qualify for the Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship, which provides up to nine extra months of education benefits (up to $30,000) for those studying science, technology, engineering, math, or health care. It removes the rule that veterans must have fewer than 180 days of GI Bill benefits left to apply, and it lowers the number of college credits they need to have completed to be eligible. If there isn't enough funding in a given year, the Department of Veterans Affairs can prioritize veterans who have used the most of their GI Bill benefits and those studying certain fields like engineering. Veterans who receive the scholarship can only use it after they have used up all of their regular Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits.
