The Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) Program assists students from educationally and economically disadvantaged backgrounds in their pursuit of a college degree. EOF is an innovative academic support program that offers counseling, educational and career advising, tutoring support, and on-going personal development.
Today, the EOF program serves low-income students who have demonstrated commitment, motivation, and potential for success in every county of the state.
EOF programs are supported on each campus by the Institution and the State of New Jersey’s Office of the Secretary of Higher Education.
