What are Education Opportunity Programs (EOP) and TRIO Programs?

EOP and TRIO Programs are one in the same. TRIO Programs are federal outreach and student services programs designed to identify and provide services for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. TRIO includes eight programs targeted to serve and assist low-income individuals, first-generation college students, and individuals with disabilities to progress through the academic pipeline from middle school to post baccalaureate programs. HEC sponsors three of the eight programs which include the following: Educational Talent Search (ETS), Upward Bound (UB), and the Educational Opportunity Centers (EOC).

Program Services Include:

  • The ETS and UB programs are designed to encourage and support middle and high school students who have a desire to attend college.

  • The EOC program is designed to encourage and support adult learners in their pursuit of a college degree.

  • iiParents and children both gain priceless training that can be very useful to younger siblings, other family members, friends, and neighbors.

  • All three programs provide participants with academic, career, and financial aid assistance.  All of the services provided by the EOP programs are FREE.
