What is the EOC?
Texas
Southern University’s Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) is a
federally funded program established to help prospective
students make plans regarding their future goals. This program
is specifically for persons who are 19 years or older, first
generation (parents do not have a bachelor’s degree), or those
who may be low-income are primary candidates for the services
offered by the Educational Opportunity Center. We seek to
increase educational opportunities for adults by providing
financial aid information, academic assistance and
post-secondary referrals.
Our Purpose
-
The
Educational Opportunity Center at Texas Southern University is committed to
helping people begin or continue their education. The goal of the EOC program
is to increase the number of adult participants who enroll in postsecondary
education institutions.
-
We
provide FREE educational, career, and college financial aid counseling to
eligible adults who reside in Harris, Brazoria, Waller, Montgomery and Fort
Bend counties to help them attend any school of their choice. If they are of
modest income, first generation (parents or the guardians) did not graduate
from a university, or 19 years or older they are eligible for this program.
-
We do
not provide funding, however, we can help them apply for available funds
(federal, state, and private) as well as provide referrals, and other
resources to further their educational endeavors.
-
The
Educational Opportunity Center at Texas Southern University is only one of 139
EOC programs throughout the United States.
