EOP - Equal Opportunity Programs (on college campuses):  EOP is designed to improve access and retention of historically low-income and educationally disadvantaged students. The program can provide admission and academic assistance to EOP-eligible undergraduate students. In many cases, the program offers financial assistance. Colleges tailor their programs to accommodate the needs of their student population.  Search "EOP" on each college campus for details about their programs.
