Educational Opportunity Centers (EOCs) are programs designed to help individuals, particularly those from low-income backgrounds, access higher education. They provide services such as academic advising, financial aid assistance, and information about college admissions. EOCs aim to empower students by offering resources that can help them succeed in their educational pursuits. These centers often collaborate with local schools, community organizations, and colleges to reach potential students. By offering workshops, tutoring, and personalized support, EOCs strive to increase the number of individuals who enroll in and complete postsecondary education, ultimately enhancing their career opportunities and quality of life.
