| About EAOP | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| EAOP Goals The Early Academic Outreach Program (EAOP) is a state sponsored pre-college program designed to increase the competitive UC eligibility of students from identified educationally disadvantaged school sites. Every University of California campus has an EAOP program servicing local middle schools and high schools within its boundaries. Partnerships are established between the school sites and the university, thus establishing a direct bridge between that school site and that university. EAOP is essentially that bridge. |

| This long-term view of our work is important because it clarifies that we envision a future for our students that includes a UC education. In order to help our students achieve this goal, we recognize that eligibility alone, although necessary, is not sufficient for completing a UC education. We must prepare our students to be successful on a UC campus by looking beyond eligibility to those skills that are critical to academic success, i.e. experience in rigorous coursework while in high school. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| EAOP Services 1. One-on-one Academic Advising Sessions! our student will receive an individualized academic assessment of what he or she needs to do to become competitively eligible. This is the buzzword here at EAOP: COMPETITIVE. We want to ensure that every EAOP student is as competitive as they can possibly be when they join the program. Since no two students are ever alike, we work with each student on an individual basis. - Another way we will motivate your student is through our student mentors. EAOP assigns Student Coordinators to each of our partnership school sites to talk to the your student one-on-one. All Student Coordinators are current UC Irvine students and of good academic standing. Their purpose is to serve as role models and mentors to our EAOP students. It is one thing when teachers, parents, counselor, and even EAOP outreach officers tell students about how important a college education is, but this message really makes an impact when it is told to them from someone who is going through the college experience first hand right now. 2. University Visits Campus Visits: The number one way to sell any thing is to demo it. It is the same way when it comes to education. The best way to sell higher education to students, and to get them really motivated to go to a university is to show them what the university is like first hand. EAOP provides opportunities for our students to visit the UCI campus on numerous occasions and a variety of reasons. Speakers: UCI hosts annual events where motivational speakers are invited to speak to the student community at large. Past speakers include Maya Angelou and Earvin "Magic" Johnson. Summer Programs: The third, and perhaps most influential, method that EAOP works to motivate our student participants is through our summer programs. Every summer, EAOP puts on numerous summer enrichment programs for EAOP students. These summer programs are no ordinary summer programs, which resembles summer schools. All EAOP summer programs are residential programs, meaning the students are given the opportunity to stay in university dorms. The length of the program varies, but most of our residential programs are one week long. Your student will have the opportunity to live in the dorms, eat in the cafeteria, and take classes at the university lecture halls and classrooms for a week. All this for the low, low price of nothing! Summer Programs are absolutely and completely free to our EAOP student participants. 3. Test Preperation Testing is an important component of application process for admission to any University of California campus. The two required tests are the SAT I and the SAT II. Often times students are prepared academically on their transcripts, but are hindered by these tests. Test preparation should ideally take place as soon as possible. Part of being prepared for these exams is to know exactly what these exams consists of. The other part is to have practice taking the exam. EAOP provides our students with annual test preparation workshops and activities for both the SAT I and SAT II. |
