Welcome

The purpose of the Educational Opportunity Center is to identify eligible participants and assist them in continuing their education at either the high school or college level. This goal is accomplished by providing members of the community and human service organizations with an educational brokerage service. By acting as a clearinghouse of educational support, resources, and information, we are able to supplement services available in the community.


 EOC services include

  • Career and academic advising
  • Assistance with Financial Aid and college or training program applications
  • Workshop presentations
  • Referrals to agencies and schools
  • Information on colleges, universities, and trade/technical schools.

 Eligibility


EOC is designed to serve any individual who is low income and/or whose parents did not complete a bachelors degree. Participants must be 19 or older if an Educational Talent Search Project is present, otherwise all ages are eligible.


Additional program information is available from your local EOC Coordinator. Please contact the office serving your area.
