Bergen Community College’s Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) program provides financial assistance together with academic and social support services to New Jersey residents from educationally and economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Eligible students can receive grants to help cover tuition, fees, books, and other educational expenses, as well as access to academic support services.  The Fund assists low-income New Jersey residents who are capable and motivated but lack adequate preparation for college study. EOF is distinctive in the comprehensiveness of its approach providing student supplemental financial aid (such as books and fees, not covered by the state’s Tuition Aid Grant program) as well as a wide array of campus-based outreach and support services.
