Welcome to The Office of The Educational Opportunity Program
EOP Senior Day will be held - April 29, 2021 from 10:00 am - 6:00 pm...
Even though the Office of The Educational Opportunity Program remains open for operations Monday - Friday, with the staff working from 8:30 am – 4:30 pm, staff is NOT physically in the office everyday. Therefore, you will need to call ahead to make sure your EOP advisor is in the office the day you want to visit. You can reach your advisory Monday - Friday via telephone. See their 'in-office' hours below:
New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) was among the earliest higher education institutions in the State to accept the challenge posed by the New Jersey Department of Higher Education to "identify, recruit and provide financial assistance to needy students who are residents of this State in order that they may be able to attend institutions of higher education."
In response to this challenge, the Engineering Opportunity Program was established in 1968. It was renamed the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) in 1975 to reflect its broader mission of providing access to other areas of study at the university, including architecture, science, and business.
The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) is a state-funded program for New Jersey students who are educationally and economically challenged and who are greatly underrepresented in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (S.T.E.M.), and in the professions related to these fields.
