Educational Opportunity Fund Programs

The New Jersey Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) was established in 1968 to provide meaningful access to higher education for individuals from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The Fund assists low-income New Jersey residents who are capable and motivated but lack adequate preparation for college study.

As part of this initiative, the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) and the Pre-Medical Pre-Dental Plus Program (PMPDPP) at Seton Hall University were established to provide educational and financial assistance to eligible New Jersey students of academic promise from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Both the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) and the Pre-Medical Pre-Dental Plus Program (PMPDPP) combine financial assistance from the Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) with academic support, including tutoring, structured study, academic advisement, opportunities for community service, internships, and counseling services throughout a scholar's undergraduate experience.

The road to college and graduation is different for every scholar. To ensure the success of each scholar's journey, the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) and the Pre-Medical Pre-Dental Plus Program (PMPDPP) create tailored plans for each student. If you are serious about earning a college degree, both EOF programs at Seton Hall University will be a turning point in the right direction.
