The
Educational
Opportunity Centers (EOC)
serves low income and first generation individuals who need assistance
with enrolling in a GED program and postsecondary educational program of
their choice (i.e. vocational, community college, university). Services
provided include GED enrollment assistance, academic and career counseling,
and admissions and financial aid assistance. The mission of the EOC is
to provide free services to help individuals with accessing educational
opportunities.
Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) provides
intensive basic skills development and short-term remedial courses for military
veterans to help them successfully transition to postsecondary education.
VUB assists veterans by providing academic and career counseling, academic
refresher courses, and assistance with financial aid and school applications.
In addition, veterans learn how to secure support from available resources
such as the Veterans Administration and other local agencies that serve veterans.
