Apply to the Educational Opportunities Program!

who we support

If you identify as an underrepresented student on campus, consider applying to EOP. We support students including, but not limited to:

  • Students of color
  • Low-income students
  • First-generation in college (neither parent graduated)
  • Undocumented or DACAmented students

In addition to our key services, EOP proudly supports our students in a variety of other ways including workshops, career support, and involvement in other opportunities.

The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation, or LSAMP, also supports underrepresented students at OSU and provides a Summer Scholars Bridge Program to assist new students in the transition to OSU. Check out their program and resources at their website for more information and a link to their application to join the Summer Scholars Bridge Program. Students may belong to both EOP and LSAMP. 

EOP application process

New OSU students applying prior to OSU enrollment:

Eligible fall term OSU admitted students should receive recruitment messages from EOP/Student Success and Belonging (SSB) with application instructions to apply through Beaver Basecamp in spring.

Current and returning OSU students:

Admission to EOP/SSB is typically considered for the following term, with most current or returning OSU students joining EOP in winter and spring terms. Space is limited. We are no longer accepting students this academic year 2024-25.
