Boost Expected

In EOPS Funds

The Board of Governors of the
California Community Colleges has
adopted a schedule of awards total-
ing $11,484,027 for disadvantaged
students in most of the state's
community colleges, including
College of the Canyons.
The funds, contingent on the
legislature and governor including
them in the state budget taking
effect July 1, include an allocation
for COC which is "substantially
greater" than this year's total of
$31,940, acording to Violet Hamil-
ton, coordinator for the state's
Extended Opportunity Program
and Services (EOPS) on this
campus.
Money under EOPS is used for
tutoring, special counseling, books,
transportation and subsistence
grants and for services to students
by the colleges. The EOPS program
is designed to insure that a student
is not denied a college education
because of lack of funds.
