There are many rewards from higher education, including better paying careers, personal satisfaction, and the respect of those who support you.  At EOPS (Extended Opportunity Programs and Services), our goal is to help increase the enrollment, retention and transfer of students who experience language, social, economic and educational challenges.  We also help facilitate the successful completion of student's goals and objective while attending Shasta College.  EOPS provides several services, including but not limited to, specialized counseling, book services, transportation assitance, and tutoring.

Under the umbrella of EOPS, is the CARE (Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education) program.  CARE is designed to help single parents who are currently receiving cash aid (CalWORKS/TANF) offset their childcare, transportation and textbook expenses.  These additional services assist CARE students to balance multiple responsibilites while pursuing their college education.

We have a long history of helping students just like you.  EOPS was created by the California State Legislature in 1969.  The philosophy that formed EOPS is still alive today-that a well education California is a stronger, more prosperous California.  EOPS is a program dedicated to helping you succeed.
