The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP)
is designed to make higher education a possibility for students who have
the potential and motivation to achieve academic success with the assistance
of comprehensive support services.
Eligibility. To qualify for EOP, you must be a California resident
and an undergraduate student with a family history of low income and limited
educational achievement. In addition, you must demonstrate potential for
success and be motivated to achieve your educational goals. If the combination
of your grades, test scores, and high school courses does not meet criteria
normally required for entrance to the university, special admission may
be offered. EOP also admits regularly eligible students with specific economic
and educational support needs.
Services for EOP Students. Special services designed to support and
assist EOP students in developing their academic potential include:
EOP Grant. Eligible students may be offered an EOP grant each academic
year. You may apply for the grant by using the standard financial aid application
form and procedures required by the Financial Aid Office.
How to Apply for EOP. When you apply for admission through EOP, you
are required to submit additional forms and materials. This process enables
EOP to select the most qualified applicants to fill the limited number of
enrollment openings available each year.
Pick up a copy of the CSU system-wide application booklet and the EOP application
from the Admissions or EOP offices of any CSU campus or from your school
counselor.
Submit admissions materials to the Office of Admissions and Records.
