EOPS

Overview

EOPS

Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) is intended to help students disadvantaged by social, economic, educational, or linguistic barriers get the resources needed to enroll and succeed at Evergreen Valley College.

EOPS provides guidance and support in order to help students achieve their academic, career, and personal goals.

EOPS participants have access to priority registration, comprehensive academic counseling, financial aid and scholarships, book vouchers, and more. Financial Assistance
EOPS offers financial support through grants, book vouchers, and other resources to help cover educational expenses.

CARE

If you’re an EOPS student who is also unmarried, the parent of a child under 14 years old, the head of your household, and receiving TANF/CalWORKs benefits, you might also qualify for the Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education (CARE) program.

CARE gives students even more extra support, like meal cards, regional retreats and even more help with things EOPS does not cover, like transportation (gas cards) and school supplies.

It also offers personal development workshops, which can help you gain skills important for school, your career, and life in general.
