EOP Admissions
The Educational Opportunity Program designs, administers, and supports programs that deliver access and retention services to historically low income and educationally disadvantaged students. An EOP student has the potential to perform satisfactorily in the California State University (CSU) but has not been able to realize this potential because of a disadvantaged economic or educational background.
The program provides admission, transitional, academic, and financial assistance (*EOP Grant) to EOP-eligible undergraduate students. To learn more about the goals of EOP, services provided, and eligibility requirements, visit the CSU Questions about EOP webpage.
*Although the program does provide some financial assistance, which figures into the total financial aid award, EOP is NOT a financial aid program.
