What is EOPS?

EOPS is a state-funded program established by the California Legislature in 1969 to address the issues of equal access to quality education (SB 164, Alquist). The over-all intention of EOPS is the one of "extending the opportunities for the community college education to all who may profit thereof, regardless of economic, social and educational status." The legislation encourages the state's community colleges to develop programs and services "over, above, and in addition to" regular college programs and services, in order to increase attendance by historically underrepresented students, and enhance their success in college and hopefully beyond. Simply put EOPS assists program participants in reaching their educational goals through academic support and financial assistance.
