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 ten 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 services are provided for first generation
and low income students at the university.
