Mission

We make higher education our priority to YOUR better future.

The Educational Opportunity Center and College Bound projects of the Educational Partners were established primarily to assist low income/first generation clients and military connected students and families in obtaining financial assistance for their higher education. Regardless of race, religion, national origin, sex, handicap or background, any person age 11 and up who meets our financial criteria may participate. Veterans can also participate in this program regardless of age.

We do not have a money tree, but you might say we know where to look around for buried treasure.

Thousands of dollars in scholarship and other financial aid go unused every year because nobody applies for it. Many private and government sources are available.

The Federal Government’s U.S. Department of Education has programs for major financial assistance. Grants are financial aid you do not have to repay. Work study lets you work to earn money towards school, and loans are borrowed money you need to repay with interest.

We’ll help you complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) which could make you eligible for the Pell Grant Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Federal Work-Study, Perkins Loan, Stafford Loan and the PLUS/SIS Loan.
