The Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) Program is an academic support program.  For more than 50 years, EOF has served students from educationally and economically disadvantaged backgrounds in the State of New Jersey.  EOF provides wraparound academic services to assist students in developing the skills needed to navigate and graduate from Hudson County Community College. Students are assigned a per­sonal advisor who will assist them in reaching their academic, career and personal goals. Support services include academic advisement, transfer and career advisement, tutorial services, supplemental instruction, mentoring, and enrichment workshops. The EOF program offers a robust summer experience for all new EOF scholars providing developmental courses and academic support services.

EOF scholars may be eligible to receive an EOF grant through the New Jersey Office of the Secretary of Higher Education (OSHE).  To be eligible to participate in the EOF program, a scholar must be enrolled as a full-time student, be a resident of New Jersey for at least one year, meet the state’s income eligibility criteria. Interested students must submit a completed EOF Application.
