WELCOME TO THE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM
The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) is committed to providing a support and
information base that validates each student's experience and nurtures a sense of
participation, belonging and empowerment. Through mentorship, academic programs,
one-to-one counseling/advising, campus student support service referrals and social/cultural
programming, we strive to maximize a student's involvement and success in the campus
academic community. In addition to assisting students through to graduation, EOP
helps motivate and inform students to utilize services to enhance their preparation
for the job market and/or graduate/professional school admission. EOP services all
students, while focusing on those who are low-income and first-generation undergraduates.
Excellence, achievement, leadership and community serve as the key elements to EOP's
purpose.
Our AS/EOP Emergency Grant will be on the ballot for reaffirmation of $1.25 academic year/.83¢ summer toward the AS/EOP Grant. This grant is utilized to help EOP students who are experiencing medical, dental or personal emergencies, as well as graduate school applications and testing fees, among other expenses exceeding/not included in the financial aid budget. We need your support to continue this much needed service for EOP students. Please vote to reaffirm the AS/EOP Emergency Grant.
Summer Transitional Enrichment Program (STEP)
A very large percentage of email Financial Aid sends to students are returned as
undeliverable for a variety of reasons.
Make sure yours is not one! That goes
for you new students too!
