The Educational Opportunity Fund Professional Association of New Jersey (EOFPANJ) supports college access, affordability, and success for underrepresented scholars across New Jersey. It serves as the official liaison between campus-based Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) programs and the state’s Office of the Secretary of Higher Education. EOF serves more than 16,000 students each year, and the association reports that nearly 40,000 students have earned a college degree in New Jersey with its support.

EOFPANJ advocates for statewide EOF programs, monitors legislation and policy decisions that may affect the EOF community, and provides professional development opportunities for members. Its website connects educators, students, alumni, and supporters with membership information, conferences, job and scholarship opportunities, and resources from sponsors and vendors. The association also shares event announcements through a statewide community calendar and invites people to submit EOF success stories. Through its programs, communications, and community connections, EOFPANJ helps strengthen the network supporting EOF students and the professionals who serve them.
