Educational Opportunity Program

What is the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP)?

Many students do not apply for admission to college because no one in their family has ever attended college or because college seems too expensive. EOP aims to improve the access, retention and graduation of students who have been historically disadvantaged, either socially or economically. EOP assists students by providing admissions and academic support services. EOP serves students from all ethnic backgrounds.

EOP Services

Our EOP staff can assist you with the admissions, financial aid, and housing application processes. You may be eligible for fee waivers for orientation programs and for the admission application fee, as well as for a deferral of the Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) fee. After you enroll at UC Davis, assistance with academic planning, skill development, career and personal counseling and course tutoring are available upon request from the EOP Information Center.

Applying for EOP

When you complete the UC Application for Admission & Scholarships, read and follow all instructions about EOP. Be sure to include the requested information about:

  • family size
  • household income
  • parents' educational levels

EOP and Financial Aid

Financial aid is available to students with a demonstrated financial need. You must apply separately for financial aid. EOP can assist you with the application process.
