The legislature finds that many individuals in the state of Washington have attended college and received an associate of arts or associate of science degree, or the equivalent, but are placebound.

     The legislature intends to establish an educational opportunity grant program for placebound students who have completed an associate of arts or associate of science degree, or the equivalent, in an effort to increase their participation in and completion of upper-division programs.
