EOP students who qualify for financial aid may receive an EOP grant. To be considered, you must apply for financial aid by filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Apply as soon as possible after January 1 of the preceding school year, and before the CSU financial aid priority filing date of March 2 of the preceding school year. EOP grants will be awarded only as long as funds are available. You will have a better chance of receiving an EOP grant and other financial aid for which you are eligible if you apply before these deadlines.
