EOPP Programs
Educational Opportunity Program
EOP provides support services to historically underserved (low income, first generation) students. Participants receive on-going academic counseling, tutoring, peer mentoring, developmental workshops, and a state grant designed to increase retention and graduation rates.
Guardian Scholars Program
GSP is a comprehensive program that is tailored to fit the needs of students who were formerly in foster care. The program creates a vibrant community to engage current and former foster youth to attain college degrees, stable housing, and career path employment.
Student Support Services
SSS is a federally funded TRIO program. The program aims to increase student retention rates by providing intensive academic advising, tutoring, developmental workshops, and priority registration to 160 participants in their freshman and sophomore years.
