The Educational Opportunity Fund Program (EOF) is a state funded program that provides educationally disadvantaged students, who demonstrate a potential for academic success, an opportunity to attend college. The primary goals of the program are recruitment, retention, graduation, and transfer. Program services include specialized counseling, structured academic support, leadership development, and career planning. These services help the students to bridge the gap between their high school preparation and their college educational needs and goals. EOF counselors work closely with program participants to develop an educational and career plan that is individualized. The plan enables students to achieve realistic academic and career goals.

Students interested in the program should file the free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine financial eligibility for the program. Students identified for this program are expected to attend a special six-week program in the summer before the entry year to Union County College. The summer program offers instruction and preparation for regular college course work as well as an introduction to college and campus life.

Prospective students should contact the EOF office for information and an application.
