UC Scholars EAOP Overview

The UC Scholars EAOP Program was established in 2001. The program provides students with ongoing academic advising to ensure they successfully complete the required college preparatory courses (the “a–g” course pattern).  UC Scholars EAOP students and their families receive the necessary information and motivation to prepare for a postsecondary education, including assistance in the application and financial aid processes.

The UC Scholars EAOP Program serves 2,156 first-generation, low-income students throughout the Central Valley.  These students are identified by school personnel at each UC Scholars EAOP partner school using the following guidelines:

• Low-income, as defined by UC fee waiver guidelines;
• First-generation college student (parents do not possess four-year degrees from the United States);
• Highly willing to commit time and effort to studies; and
• Demonstrate potential to perform well in high school college-preparatory courses.
