Early Academic Outreach Program

The Early Academic Outreach Program (EAOP) is dedicated to supporting students with the goal of pursuing higher education. We assist first-generation college-bound students from traditionally underserved communities by providing academic support, monitor their educational progress, and relevant information throughout the college-application process. Additionally, we collaborate with high schools and community organizations to ensure that students and their families are fully informed about the benefits of higher education and the requirements for college admission. 

Eligibility: 

• Be currently enrolled in the 9th, 10th, or        11th-grade for the 2023-24 academic year.
