At UCSC's Educational Opportunity Programs (EOP), our mission is to uplift and empower first-generation college students from low-income, historically marginalized backgrounds. Your past contributions have been essential in providing these students with academic and personal support—and with your help, we can continue to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to succeed in higher education.
This year, with over 6,000 students relying on EOP, we have set an ambitious goal to raise $15,000. These funds will allow us to maintain vital services like academic and personal advising, peer mentoring, textbook support, wellness programs, and graduate school preparation.
Your generosity has made a world of difference, and we ask for your continued support. Together, we can break down barriers and provide the resources that first-gen students need to thrive.
We encourage you to visit our Spring Give: EOP: Investing in First-Generation Students' Future project page to learn more and to make your contribution today. Every gift brings us one step closer to reaching our goal and making a lasting impact on the lives of our students. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to their success!
