I'm interested

The EOC program targets adults who are interested in continuing their education to the secondary and postsecondary level. Each year the EOC serves 850 adults from the following counties: Kenosha, Racine, Walworth, Lake, and McHenry. You are eligible to participate in the EOC program if you are:    

• 18 years of age and older 
• A legal resident of any of the following counties: Kenosha, Racine, Walworth, Lake, or McHenry  
• A citizen or permanent resident of the United States of America 

Priority admittance may be given to adults who are first generation college seekers (parents have not completed bachelor's degrees), economically disadvantaged, veterans, disabled or justice involved, but no one who meets the first three criteria listed above will be denied services. 

EOC services are completely free for qualified participants who have been accepted into the program.  

While the EOC does not provide funds to help you pay for your education, our program will help you to identify existing sources of funding  

Although the EOC is sponsored by the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, our program will assist participants in applying to and enrolling in any secondary and/or postsecondary institution of their choice. In addition to UW-Parkside, we are proudly partnered with a variety of area post-secondary institutions. (link to Partner page) 

The EOC ensures that all participants, regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, national origin, gender, age, citizenship status, or disability, have equitable access to and participation in its federally assisted program activities as required by the laws and regulations that govern the program.
