EDUCATION CODE
SECTION 90140-90142
90140. The trustees shall establish appropriate miscellaneous fees for the academy. These fees shall be for purposes unique to the academy, such as the annual training cruise and uniforms. 90141. The Legislature hereby finds that the academy provides full-time programs that limit opportunity for student employment. For that reason, it is difficult for students attending the academy to contribute to the cost of their education through employment while attending. This limits the opportunity for students who have little or no financial ability to contribute to the payment of their cost of education. For these reasons, the trustees shall develop and adopt a policy that provides opportunities for financial assistance for students to attend the academy and that provides for the active recruitment of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and underrepresented groups. In order to implement this policy, the trustees may make full use of any and all state and federal funds available and may receive private contributions, including those from the maritime industry, for this purpose. 90142. The trustees may provide for the payment of tuition and fees charged students by installments payable at intervals determined by the trustees.
