Additional Information: The New Jersey Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) is one of the nation’s most comprehensive and successful state-supported efforts to provide access to higher education for economically and educationally disadvantaged students. EOF grants assist low-income residents who are capable and motivated but lack adequate preparation for college study. EOF supports a wide array of campus-based outreach and support services to help program participants succeed and graduate. The Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) is a campus-based program. This means that each participating institution is responsible for student recruitment, selection, program services, and its own specific criteria for EOF admission and program participation.

Award Amount: Award amounts range from $200 to $2,500. The amount varies depending upon financial need, cost of attendance, and available funding. Awards are renewable annually based on continued eligibility.  The total dollars awarded for this scholarship is $1,945.
