CAN YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR
ORGANIZATION?
EOC was founded in 1980 and manages two TRIO
programs: Educational Talent Search (ETS) and Educational
Opportunity Centers (EOC). Both programs prepare and
motivate high school students and adults for success in
post-secondary education and, ultimately, their careers.
The programs generate the skills necessary for success in
education among low-income and potential first-generation
college students enrolled in high school. The goal of both
EOC and ETS is to assist people who are the first in their
family to go to college as well as meeting the income
guidelines of 150 percent of the poverty line.
