What is the Educational Opportunity Center?
The Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) is a federally funded educational outreach TRIO program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education to promote postsecondary education to underrepresented populations. The EOC motivates and assists low-income, first-generation adults who want to begin, resume, or continue their education beyond the high school level. The mission of the program is to expand awareness about educational opportunities and postsecondary education options to low-income first generation individuals throughout the Tri-county area. The goal of the project is to increase the number of Tri-county adults who enroll in postsecondary (college) education institutions. The EOC program assists adults who are interested in continuing their education to the postsecondary (college) level. Each year, EOC serves approximately 2,000 adults from the Tri-county community. You are eligible to participate in the program if you are: 18 years of age and older A resident of Charleston,
