Senate Bill 2082 amends the Education Code to include as an authorized role for a student employed under the work-study student mentorship program supporting student interventions at participating eligible institutions that are focused on increasing completion of degrees or certificates. Previous law required the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to partner with participating nonprofit organizations to establish additional GO Centers or similar high school-based recruiting centers. The bill changes that requirement to an authorization and includes improving student success in higher education as an objective of such centers.
