Educational Opportunity Program (EOP)

The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) is funded by the State of California and the California State University. The program  serves as a primary vehicle for the CSU in increasing the access, academic excellence and retention of California’s historically underserved students (low income, First Generation College), thus working in the spirit and abiding by the legislative intent that originally established the program in 1969 and maintaining the innovation inherent in the program.
