Hayk was accepted to the very competitive film schools at both UCLA and USC! He states that, “(the) help that I received from EOPS will allow me to accomplish my academic goal toward success.”

Elizabeth, who transferred to UCLA, said her EOPS counselor told her…”“the stars are the limit,” and she encouraged me to apply to out-of-state schools. Those words will remain in my memory forever because she is right about it, when I have reached the stars no one can take them away from me.”

Cal State Los Angeles transfer student Dieu-Donne believes that, “Through EOPS, I learned that a little bit of help makes a great difference. It can change a potential to failure into a success. I would probably not be transferring this year if it was not for EOPS.”

Olga says the EOPS counselors: “... motivated me, and encouraged me in times when I needed (it) the most.” She transferred to UCLA this fall

Former EOPS student Anthony transferred to CSUN with a 2.5 GPA through the Baccalaureate Competitive Degree Program, sponsored by the U.S. Navy, which will pay for him to complete his Bachelor's degree in 2 years, on the condition that he will serve 4 years of active duty in the Navy immediately after graduation. At LAVC, he was on academic probation with a 1.0 GPA as the result of working two (2) jobs. After attending an EOPS academic success workshop, he turned his grades around and established a major. Anthony is a true success story!

First generation college student Yesenia states that, “I can truthfully say the knowledge, professionalism, care, and friendly environment that EOPS has offered me is the reason why I am graduating this summer and making my dream of becoming the first in my family to graduate college and transfer to a university come true.”

Single mom, Tatevik, transferred to Cal State Northridge. She believes, that “EOPS with the CARE program assisted many students including myself with tackling numerous obstacles related to the education process…”

After transferring to UCLA to earn her Bachelor’s degree, former EOPS student Eboni began a Master’s program at Harvard University this Fall.
