Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education (CARE) is an additional program that further serves EOP&S students who fulfill the CARE criteria. The CARE program also provides services beyond those
offered through EOP&S.
To be eligible for CARE a student must be:
- An EOP&S student
- At least 18 years old
- Considered a single head of household parent (single, divorced, separated, widow, etc.)
- Currently receiving cash aid from CalWORKs/TANF for themselves or their children
CARE provides the following services:
- CARE Grants: Grants are given to the student to assist with the high cost of childcare.
- Monthly Meal Tickets: Get something to eat before you go to class at the school cafeteria.
- Monthly Gas Card: A gas card to help you offset the rising prices of gasoline so you can get to school.
- School Supplies: Need a notebook, pencil? CARE will provide you with the essentials to begin your first day of class ready.
- Book Voucher: CARE provides funds to cover additional costs of the books EOP&S was unable to cover.
- Lending Library: Don’t buy – borrow your book from our lending library and stretch your book voucher.
- Referrals: Having housing or transportation issues? A CARE representative can give you referrals to on and off campus resources.
- CARE Conferences: This is a great time to meet other CARE students around the state. Hearing that you are not alone is a great experience.
