The Early Academic Outreach Program was
established in 1976 by the University of California to expand
postsecondary education opportunities for California’s
educationally disadvantaged students. Specifically, the goals
of the UCLA EAOProgram are to increase the academic competitiveness
of students so they are college ready and admissible. By successfully
completing the UC A-G requirements, college entrance exams
and participating in extracurricular activities, EAOP participants
prepare to be admissible to the most selective colleges like
UCLA upon high school graduation. EAOP works collaboratively
with schools to provide students with challenging academic
enrichment activities. In short, EAOP is an academic preparation
program that prepares students for the opportunity to make
college possible by working together with families, educators,
schools and communities to promote and cultivate a college-going
culture. The UCLA Early Academic Outreach Programs include:
