The
EOF Program provides an opportunity for New Jersey students from
families or communities disadvantaged by low income and lack of
access to quality education, to participate in the state's Higher
Education programs.
Rutgers-Newark
EOF Offices work in conjunction with the NJ Higher Education Student
Assistance Authority and various departments on campus to administer
the program.
For
students that demonstrate academic potential, EOF maximizes
educational opportunities by providing academic and student support
services designed to take a student from pre-admission to
graduation, and beyond.
The
programs sponsor innovative educational initiatives, supplemental
tutoring, support services and counseling, and leadership
development to improve students’ chances of academic success.
In
addition to any federal, state, or university aid for which the
student may qualify, EOF participants have access
to an additional award to assist with college costs: the
NJ EOF grant.
