California State University: educational opportunity program.

Existing law establishes the California State University, and authorizes the operation of its various campuses under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University. Existing law, the California State University Educational Opportunity Act, provides educational assistance and grants for undergraduate study at the California State University to students who are economically disadvantaged or educationally and economically disadvantaged, but who display potential for success in accredited curricula offered by the university. The act sets grant eligibility criteria and, when the recipient is an enrollee in a special educational opportunity program approved by the trustees, provides that the state university campus sponsoring the program receives from the trustees specified reimbursement. This bill would require the California State University to provide a direct link to information and application forms for the educational opportunity program approved by the trustees on the online version of the California State University Mentor Application, and to attach an informational brochure for this program to its electronic and printed application forms for undergraduate admission. The bill would require, when the California State University next revises this mentor application following the bill's enactment, that the revised electronic and printed forms of the mentor application include a description of the educational opportunity program approved by the trustees.
