The School of Education at the University of Kansas has committed itself to extending broad educational support to the youth and adults of all segments of it's community. The Educational Opportunity Programs (EOP) is part of that commitment.

The Educational Opportunity Programs support a wide spectrum of learners and provides educational information, counseling, academic instruction, tutoring, assistance in applying for financial aid, and supportive encouragement to both students and their families. While student financial aid programs help students overcome financial barriers to higher education, Educational Opportunity programs help students overcome academic, economic, social, and cultural barriers to higher education. Our programs serve students at KU, and youth and adults in the Lawrence, Topeka, and Kansas City areas.

The Educational Opportunity Programs operate through the Institute for Educational Research and Public Service in the School of Education at the University of Kansas. The Educational Opportunity Programs are under the direction of Dr. Ngondi A. Kamatuka.
