The
Educational Opportunity Centers (EOC)
serves low income and first generation adults 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.
