What is EOPS/ CARE?
Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) is a college success, counseling support program for low income and educationally disadvantaged students. The program provides access to a college education to students regardless of their economic, social and educational status. EOPS makes available to all qualified students a program of academic support by providing academic, career and personal counseling, instruction and tutoring as needed to ensure college success. A book voucher provides monies toward the cost of books each semester. Transportation costs (parking permits, bus passes) and cafeteria meal cards may also be offered to eligible students (if funding permits).
If you are a single parent, you may also qualify for the Cooperative
Agencies Resources for Education (CARE) program, a component of
EOPS. This program provides educational support services for the
academically under prepared, single parent population who are receiving
benefits through CalWORKs and are EOPS eligible. Additional grants
for eligible CARE students may also be awarded (if funding permits).
