EAOP/ DCAC
What is EAOP?
The Early Academic Outreach Program (EAOP) is a state-wide college preparatory program sponsored by the University of California. For over 30 years, EAOP has helped students prepare for college by creating a community of young scholars and offering college-preparatory advising and academic enrichment opportunities. EAOP at UC Berkeley currently serves approximately 3,000 students from San Francisco, Contra Costa and Alameda counties.
The mission of EAOP at UC Berkeley is to prepare students from under-resourced communities for admission to colleges and universities. Priority is given to students from low-income families and/or students who will be the first in their family to go to college. Students are invited to apply during the spring of their 9th grade year.
What does it mean to have EAOP/DCAC at Antioch High School?
As EAOP/DCAC advisers, we are here to support students and families with planning for life beyond high school graduation, focusing on college preparatory services. While students have four years to prepare for this next chapter, we believe it is never too early to start thinking about your future! This is why we proudly assist and provide advisement to ALL high school students who seek our services.
