Consideration for services of the Programs is also given to students who have participated in pre-university service programs (e.g. Early Academic Outreach, Upward Bound, MESA, Talent Search, Puente, etc.) Participation in these programs, however, does not automatically mean the granting of EOP status.

Consideration will not be given to students pursuing a second baccalaureate degree or who are on limited status. EOP does not offer financial assistance. All Financial Aid is disbursed through the Financial Aid Office.

If you need financial assistance, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 1(831) 459-2963. If you feel you need clarification or additional information about EOP, please call the office to schedule an appointment with an EOP Counselor. The EOP office number is 1(831) 459-2296.
