(a) It is the intent of the Legislature that at least 50 percent, but not more than 75 percent, of the actual costs of the California State Summer School for Mathematics and Science for each fiscal year would be financed by state funds beginning in the 1999-2000 fiscal year. The balance of the operating costs would be financed with fees and private support.

(b) The Regents of the University of California are requested to set a tuition fee within a range that corresponds to actual program costs, up to but not exceeding four thousand seven hundred seventy dollars ($4,770) per session in 2023, and the regents may increase this fee by an amount up to 5 percent each year thereafter. It is the intent of the Legislature that the University of California award full or partial scholarships on the basis of need and that pupils who are unable to pay all or part of the fee may petition the University of California for a fee reduction or waiver to ensure that a qualified applicant is not denied admission solely because of the applicant’s inability to pay all or part of the fee. A public announcement regarding the summer school program should include notification that need-based scholarships are available and information regarding the procedure for applying for a scholarship award.
