EDUCATION CODESECTION 94215-94216.11
94215. The authority shall have power to make grants in aid to any private college in accordance with an agreement between the authority and a private college. 94215.3. Grants may be made to enable a private college to provide a program of academic assistance and services to pupils attending a qualified school, as defined in Section 94215.9, in order to inform the pupils of the benefits of, and the requirements for, higher education; prepare these pupils for college entrance; or to provide programs, such as academic enrichment and mentoring programs, that advance the academic standing of those pupils. The Legislature finds and declares that these grants will provide a benefit to the residents of the state. 94215.5. The authority is authorized to incur necessary expenses, payable from available funds, to provide grants for the purposes of this article, and the funds provided by the private college may be fully or partly matched by funds provided by the authority. 94215.7. (a) The authority, in consultation with representatives of private colleges, qualified schools, and other appropriate parties, shall develop selection criteria and a process for awarding grants under this article, which shall include all of the following: (1) The extent to which the program to be funded will provide academic assistance, guidance in college admissions, or will otherwise contribute to the expansion of postsecondary educational opportunities for low- and very low income students. (2) The extent to which the program, if it is already in existence, has a demonstrated record of success in providing academic assistance, guidance in college admissions, or in otherwise expanding the educational opportunities of students. (3) If the program to be funded is new, the extent to which the applicant has demonstrated that the program is feasible, ready to be implemented, and well-structured to provide academic assistance, guidance in college admissions, or to expand the educational opportunities of students at qualified schools. (4) The extent to which the program will serve qualified schools in geographic areas that are not currently being served by similar programs. (5) The extent to which the applicant has demonstrated its commitment to providing need-based financial assistance to students who otherwise could not afford to attend the applicant's institution. (6) The extent to which the applicant has committed its own funds, or funds obtained from other sources, to the program. (7) The total amount of funds appropriated and available for purposes of this section. (b) In no event shall a grant to finance a program exceed the total cost of the program, as determined by the applicant and approved by the authority. Grants shall be awarded only to applicants that have certified to the authority that all requirements established by the authority for grantees have been met. The authority shall not award more than a total of two million dollars (,000,000) in grants under this article, nor shall it award more than two hundred fifty thousand dollars (0,000) to any applicant. (c) All programs that are awarded grants shall be implemented within a reasonable period of time, to be determined by the authority. The authority shall not release any funds until the applicant demonstrates, to the authority's satisfaction, that the program is ready to be implemented. If the authority determines that the applicant has failed to implement the program under the terms specified in awarding the grant, the authority may require remedies, including the return of all or a portion of the grant. (d) Any applicant receiving a grant under this section shall commit to using the grant funds for the purposes for which the grant was awarded. 94215.9. For purposes of this article, "qualified school" means any comprehensive school providing instruction in any of grades 7 to 12, inclusive, as determined by the authority, which shall take into consideration whether the school is in a low- or very low income area and whether, where applicable, the percentage of pupils who graduate from the school and are eligible for admission to the California State University or the University of California is below the statewide average according to the most recent information from the California Postsecondary Education Commission. 94216. Commencing with the 2004 calendar year, the authority shall annually submit to the Legislature a report setting forth the amount of funds awarded pursuant to this article in the preceding calendar year, the amount of each grant awarded, and a description of each of the outreach programs to which funding has been awarded under this article. 94216.9. The authority may adopt regulations to implement the grant program described in this article as emergency regulations in accordance with the rulemaking provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code). The adoption of any emergency regulation pursuant to this section filed with the Office of Administrative Law on or before July 1, 2003, shall be deemed to be an emergency and necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety, or general welfare. Notwithstanding subdivision (e) of Section 11346.1 of the Government Code, any emergency regulation adopted pursuant to this section shall remain in effect for no more than 360 days. 94216.11. This article shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2009, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2009, deletes or extends that date.
