  • Iadvisor 529 Plan Imagine
    IAdvisor 529 Plan Imagine. Educate. Achieve. Program Description and Participation Agreement April 1, 2019 Michael L. Fitzgerald Iowa State Treasurer Dear College Saver, Effective Friday, March 29, 2019, IAdvisor’s investment options will be undergoing changes. These changes pertain both to the line- up of available investment options in the plan, as well as the underlying investments in the Age- and Risk-Based Options. The Plan will be merging assets invested in the IAdvisor 529 Ultra-Conservative Option into the IAdvisor 529 Age 18+ Option. Like the IAdvisor 529 Ultra-Conservative Option, the IAdvisor 529 Age 18+ Option is “static” and will not automatically migrate to a new investment based on the beneficiary’s age. These investments are merging due to similarities in investment objectives and risk profiles. Differences between these Options include a slight decrease in exposure to stocks in the IAdvisor Age 18+ Option as well as other changes to the underlying investments. The Plan will also be merging assets invested in the VY® Clarion Global Real Estate Option into the Voya Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value Option. This change is being made in conjunction with a removal of the same underlying VY® Clarion Global Real Estate investment from the Age- and Risk-Based Options. Exposure to the Global Real Estate asset class is still available in the Plan through certain Age- and Risk-Based Options that invest in the Brookfield Global Real Estate Fund. Along with the two investment option mergers mentioned above, certain underlying funds in the Age- and Risk-Based Options will be added or removed and allocations to the underlying funds will be adjusted.

  • Legislative Committee Report
    2018 Legislative Session‐in‐Review: Iowa College Aid January 8, 2018 First day of 2018 legislative session. February 13, 2018 House File 2322 was introduced in the Iowa House to eliminate the College Student Aid Commission and transfer the duties and responsibilities of the agency to the Office of the State Treasurer of Iowa. The bill did not make progress before the first funnel (February 16). March 22, 2018: Purdue University, a public university located in Indiana, officially acquires Kaplan University, a for‐profit university located in Iowa. Iowa residents attending Kaplan University lose eligibility for state‐appropriated scholarship and grant programs on the date of acquisition. Senate File 2415 subsequently provides access to National Guard Educational Assistance Program funds to individuals who received those funds in FY18, if they enroll and continue to meet the eligibility requirements in FY19 at Purdue University Global. March 28, 2018 Governor Reynolds signs Senate File 2117, the FY18 de‐appropriations bill. The bill reduces current year appropriations under Iowa College Aid by $94,172. The reduction is applied to the Teacher Shortage Loan Forgiveness Program, which could sustain the reduction without impact to current recipients. April 3, 2018 The Future Ready Iowa Act is signed by Governor Reynolds. The Act creates two new programs under the administration of Iowa College Aid – the Future Ready Iowa Skilled Workforce Shortage Last‐Dollar Scholarship and the Future Ready Iowa Skilled Workforce Grant. Both programs are set to become effective July 1, 2019. The Teach Iowa Scholar Program was the last new program enacted to be administered by Iowa College Aid, during the 2014 legislative session.
