There are many rewards from higher
education, including better paying careers, personal satisfaction, and the
respect of those who support you. At
EOPS (Extended Opportunities 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 students’ goals and objectives while attending Shasta College. EOPS provides several services, including
but not limited to, specialized counseling, book services, transportation
assistance, tutoring, and childcare grants.
Under the umbrella of EOPS, is the CARE
(Cooperative Agencies and 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 responsibilities
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 educated California
is a stronger, more prosperous California.
EOPS is a program dedicated to helping you succeed.
