The Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) serves traditionally under-represented individuals by preparing them for success in post-secondary education. Our educational outreach services include providing personal attention in earning a GED and enrollment assistance to any college, university or career technology center nation-wide. The EOC has helped thousands of students in Oklahoma apply for school and obtain the Pell Grant as well as scholarships (Scholarship Information (pdf)). This is absolutely affordable because nothing is paid back. The money is FREE.
Application
If you meet the above qualifications, let the EOC staff support your success by helping you stay on track to your life’s goals. If you are under the age of 18, a parent must sign the application.
By providing simple hope, motivation and the tools to succeed in an educational environment, the EOC may be able to help you identify your career interests and abilities and show you how to use your strengths to achieve your goals. Through the EOC services, more than 3200 Oklahomans each year learn firsthand that hard work and determination can be the change agents to help move them forward in life.
