Welcome

The purpose of the Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) is to identify eligible participants and assist them in continuing their education at either the high school or college level.  By acting as a clearinghouse of educational support, resources and information, we are able to supplement community services available across the State of Wyoming.

 EOC services include

  • Information on colleges, universities, and trade/technical schools
  • Assistance with college financial aid and college/training program admission applications
  • Scholarship & financial aid workshop presentations
  • Referrals to agencies and schools
  • Career and academic advising.

 Eligibility

EOC is designed to serve any individual who is income eligible 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 and welcome.

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