Celebrating our amazing EOP Class of 2023! We take great pride in recognizing the remarkable journeys of our exceptional students. Did you know that some of our brightest minds began their CSUN adventure as special admits? EOP leaders saw their immense potential beyond high school grades and with mentoring and support these individuals blossomed into successful college graduates!
Let's also take a moment to honor and celebrate those who were part of our EOP Resilient Scholars Program, designed to provide unwavering support to former foster youth throughout their academic pursuit. These resilient individuals have proven time and again that they are true overachievers, surpassing all expectations along their journey.
As we bid farewell to the EOP Class of 2023, we couldn't be prouder of their remarkable accomplishments and unwavering determination.

On Tuesday, March 27, 2018, the Educational Opportunity Programs at California State University, Northridge hosted its first annual José Luis Vargas Scholarship Awards.
The ceremony honored the contributions made by Mr. Vargas and scholarships were awarded to students who embody EOP’s core values, practice RRAM and exemplify academic excellence. The event was also an opportunity for EOP alumni to reconnect and share their fondest memory of Mr. Vargas.
The recipients of the 2018 scholarship awards were:
Alexis Aleman
Carina Alvarado Alcala
Davon Anderson
Osman Bonilla
David Contreras
Carla Martinez Plascencia
Jeremy Simmons
Nikki Vi
As a former EOP student, Mr. Vargas led the program with passion, conviction, and professionalism. He mentored thousands of students and encouraged them to believe in themselves and succeed in higher education. His legacy will continue through the future scholarships given in his memory.
Congratulations to our high potential EOP students on their completion of their residential bridge experience. Our convocation took place on Sunday, December 4, 2016. Back in the summer of 2015, most of these students were admitted to our campus by EOP as "special-admit" freshmen. This means that CSU rejected these students due to their low grades in high school, but EOP leaders recognized their high potential. For a summer plus three semesters, EOP leaders provided support services, especially mentors, to help these students develop their potential. Now several are young scholars on our campus.
