The Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOP&S) is funded by the State.  Its mission is to support our students in achieving their academic and personal goals by establishing "over and above" support services and programs for income and educationally eligible students.  The EOP&S Program provides support with: priority registration, book vouchers, lending library, counseling (academic, career and personal), graduation expenses, and transfer services (application waivers, tours). Students who qualify for EOP&S are expected to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress toward their educational goal.

EOPS/Guardian Scholars

Across the nation, approximately 400,000 children are temporarily placed in foster care because their families are unable to care for them. Over 60,000 live in California.

In 2014, under Senate Bill 1023 (Liu) the Cooperative Agencies Foster Youth Educational Support Programs (CAFYES) were established as an expansion of the EOPS programs.  At San José City College, the Guardian Scholars Program is dedicated to serving “current and former” foster youth using Student Equity resources to help support students throughout their academic endeavors.  The Guardian Scholars program is under the umbrella of the EOPS program at San José City College.

Through the collaboration between the Foster Youth Success Initiative Liaison and the EOPS/Guardian Scholars program, it is the intent to encourage the enrollment, retention, and transfer of “current and former” foster youth at San José City College.
