Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF)
Mission Statement
The mission of Salem Community College’s Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) Program is to provide comprehensive supportive services and financial assistance to eligible students who have demonstrated the potential to excel in a challenging educational environment.
The EOF Program is also dedicated to instilling the skills, habits and inclinations necessary for students to earn associate degrees or certificates to transfer to four-year institutions or join the workforce as productive members of society.
What is the Educational Opportunity Fund Program?
The New Jersey Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) was created in 1968 to ensure meaningful access to higher education for those who come from backgrounds of economic and educational disadvantage. The Fund assists low-income New Jersey residents who are capable and motivated but lack adequate preparation for college study. EOF is distinctive in the comprehensiveness of its approach. To ensure a viable opportunity to succeed and graduate, EOF provides a wide array of support services such as counseling, tutoring, meetings and workshops.
