Welcome to the Educational Opportunity Program at Fresno State
The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) is designed to improve the access and retention of low-income and first-generation college students at Fresno State. EOP aims to support students who face historical, economic, or educational disadvantages. Our services focus on empowering students, building community, and ensuring college success.
