Extended Opportunity Program and Services

The Extended Opportunity Program and Services (EOPS) is a state funded services oriented program. It combines financial assistance with support services designed to inform, recruit, admit, and academically motivate low income students to pursue a college education.

EOPS is the result of Assembly Bill 164, passed by the California Legislature in 1969. The enactment of this statewide program enabled Community Colleges to reach out and insure success for students that otherwise would not be able to attend college or complete a college education.

Through the EOPS Program, students can receive comprehensive services such as tutoring, academic, personal and career counseling, book loans, emergency loans, peer advisement, job and house placement, and any special help that a student might need to stay in school or prepare themselves for a career.
