About EOP
The Educational Opportunity Program, located in Advising Counseling Services, is a division of the Office of Minority Affairs & Diversity.
The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) promotes academic success and graduation for under-represented, economically disadvantaged, and first-generation college students at the University of Washington.
All UW Seattle students receive information about EOP as part of first year orientation. In addition to the criteria listed above, EOP is open to all domestic students who seek and are granted affiliation to access program services.
EOP academic counselors are generalists, trained to successfully steward students through the selection and scheduling of classes, exploration of possible majors, and development of career goals. The EOP team also assists students with financial aid, housing, personal matters, and a host of additional supportive services.
