EOP&S CARE Program

The CARE Program (Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education) provides academic and economic support services designed to promote student persistence and success. CARE strives to build self-esteem, strengthen college-readiness skills, and support students in achieving their academic and personal goals.

Through intentional guidance and resources, many CARE students not only benefit from the services provided—but go farther than they ever imagined possible.
