Rider University’s Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) seeks students with big dreams for their future. Created in 1968, this state-supported program helps make college accessible to New Jersey residents.
Rider’s EOP is an academic support program with financial assistance. It offers a wide range of opportunities for students with financial need who demonstrate solid academic potential and a genuine motivation to learn.
Our record speaks for itself. 94% of EOP freshmen continue on to their sophomore year at Rider – well above the national average freshman retention rate of 72%.
