The Educational Opportunity Fund was created by the Board of Regents in 1989 to provide funding for student financial aid and community/campus service programs during each academic year, from August through May. The EOF committee receives proposals, conducts hearings, and prepares a budget for expenditures from the fund.
Use of EOF monies is limited to the following purposes:
a.) Academic scholarships and fellowships for both graduate and undergraduate students.
b.) Need-based grants, including awards to students with special expenses such as child care, or groups of students historically under-represented in higher education.
c.) Salaries or grants for students participating in public and community service programs.
d.) Monies to provide salaries for students employed in service programs such as tutoring, day care, and peer counseling and to provide services to students.
University departments are encouraged to apply for EOF monies under sections C and D as explained above.
Completed applications should be returned to the Center for Student Involvement by Friday, March 6, 2020 by 5:00pm.
For questions, please contact Paul Frost, ASG President, at asgpres@emporia.edu.
