The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) at California State University, Northridge designs, administers, and supports programs that deliver access and retention services to CSUN students. EOP provides services to historically low-income, historically educationally disadvantaged college students; a population that not only reflects the diversity of CSUN’s feeder communities but also the diversity of the University itself.
EOP Provides:
- Assistance in completing Cal State Apply & EOP applications.
- Transitional Experience programs for first-time freshmen and first-time transfer students. These events give students a head start toward a successful college experience and the opportunity to begin building community with other students.
- Mentoring
- Academic support services
- Holistic advising
- Student engagement
- Financial support: EOP Grant (if eligible)
Your support ensures these services remain strong and accessible for the students who need them most. Contributing to EOP directly expands opportunities, strengthens retention, and helps our most vulnerable student population thrive. Together we can make a difference.
