(EOP) is designed to improve access for and retention of historically

potential and demonstrated motivation to perform satisfactorily at a CSU, but
has not been able to realize this potential because of economic or educational
background. The program provides admission and academic assistance to
EOP-eligible undergraduate students. In many cases, the program offers
financial assistance to eligible students. Campuses tailor their programs to
accommodate the needs of their student population (CSUMentor.edu)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
