The New Jersey Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) was created by law in 1968 and is distinctive in the comprehensiveness of its approach. EOF Scholars receive a grant that is part of their financial aid package and participate in a range of programs designed to support their success in college, including a pre-college Summer Institute bridge program for incoming first year students, academic year workshops, as we one-on-one support from their designated EOF Counselor. Space in the EOF program is limited and a formal application is required to be considered. Click here for more information on eligibility and application process.
