Extended Opportunity Programs and Services
Extended Opportunities Programs and Services(EOPS) is a state-funded program that provides economically and educationally underrepresented students with support services that will help them achieve their educational goals (certificate, Associate's Degree, and/or transfer to a four-year university). These support services are in addition to the services provided by the college to all students. At Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, we want our students to be successful, therefore, we have tailored the program to aid students in meeting the costs of college and providing students with skills that will enable them to be successful.
The Director, Counselors, Coordinator, and Staff are trained to help the student navigate successfully through the educational system.
EOPS has two subprograms that offer additional services and benefits to eligible students.
