(1) The Oregon Student Assistance Commission may establish Access to Student Assistance Programs in Reach of Everyone (ASPIRE) to provide information about financial aid and education and training options beyond high school to students in Oregon secondary schools. The goals of the programs are to:
(a) Provide mentoring and resources to help students access education and training beyond high school;
(b) Help high schools build a sustainable community of volunteer mentors; and
(c) Educate students and families about the scholarship application process and other options for paying for post-secondary education.
(2) The programs shall bring together students, school staff, community volunteers and parents to help students overcome obstacles to their continuing education. The programs may provide training, technical assistance and other resources to Oregon high schools on how to establish a volunteer-based program. Adult volunteers who are trained through the program may provide mentoring, training and encouragement to students about post-secondary options and financial aid. [2007 c.293 §2]
