EOF students will receive both academic and financial support from various programs that are designed to assist in ensuring student success.
We appreciate your interest in the Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF). Our combined application allows both academic year 2022 (until February 28, 2022) and academic year 2023 application.
Please read carefully – you need only to provide income documentation for one award year. If you will be a returning fall 2022 student and are unable to complete the process by the February deadline indicated, complete the 2023 application. Thank you.
