Educational Opportunity Program

EOP is designed to improve access and retention of historically low-income and educationally disadvantaged students.  EOP students have the potential and demonstrated motivation to perform satisfactorily in college, but they may not have been able to realize their potential because of their economic or educational background.  Once admitted as an EOP student, you may be eligible to enroll in an EOP bridge program to strengthen your math, reading, or other skills.  Orientation sessions are provided to help students learn about campus services and programs.  During your enrollment in college, you can receive counseling, tutoring, and advising services.  If you are eligible, an EOP grant may be awarded.  For students who are admitted to EOP, but who may not meet all of the requirements for admission, there may be a possibility for special admission.
