Educational Opportunity Fund
As part of their financial aid package, recipients of an
Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) grant have numerous academic
services available. Trained professionals are available to assist
students in terms of personal, academic, and financial problems related
to attending college. In addition to the counseling program, EOF offers
free tutorial services to students who may need support in basic
academic skills or in more advanced courses. Each summer, EOF offers a
four- to six-week precollege curriculum of developmental and/or
credit-granting courses. Regulations governing the Standards of
Academic Progress further provide eligible EOF students with up to 10
terms of New Jersey state aid.
Student Support Services
In addition to the EOF program, the university supports EOF-like
students through its U.S. Department of Education Student Support
Services Program. Similar students are provided for first generation
and low-income students at the university.
