The Educational Opportunities Program (EOP) was created at Oregon State University in 1969 to provide support for historically underserved students. These include students of color, older-than-average students, students with disabilities, students who are single parents, low-income students, students who have been rurally isolated, veterans, older-than-average (25+), first generation in college (neither parent graduated), or any student whose life experiences have impacted their access to education.

Students in the program will have access to the following services:

• assistance through the admissions process
• assistance in locating financial resources
• orientation to the University
• academic and personal advising
• courses to help review or fill in gaps in math, reading and writing
• free tutoring provided by upper division and graduate students
• assistance with finding jobs and internships, writing resumes and cover letters
