An
organization may submit more than one application to this Educational
Opportunity Centers (EOC) Program so long as each application describes a
project that serves a different target area (34 CFR 644.10(a)). The term
‘‘target area’’ is defined as a geographic area served by a project (34 CFR
644.7(b)). If interested in submitting an application to this
opportunity, please contact the Proposal Development Office with an
indication of the target area that your project will serve. If multiple
investigators identify the same target area, an internal competition will be
held to determine who UK’s applicant will be for this opportunity.
The
purposes of the EOC Program are to: provide information regarding financial and
academic assistance available for qualified adults who want to enter or

those individuals in applying for admission to institutions at which a program
of postsecondary education is offered, including preparing necessary
applications for use by admissions and financial aid officers; and assist in
improving the financial and economic literacy of program participants. An
Educational Opportunity Centers project may provide the following services: (1)
Public information campaigns designed to inform the community regarding
opportunities for postsecondary education and training; (2) Academic advice and
assistance in course selection; (3) Assistance in completing college admission
and financial aid applications; (4) Assistance in preparing for college
