EOF Program retention rates skyrocket

Stacy Holland ′92, currently chair of TCNJ\'s Board of Trustees, is an EOF success story.A recent study focusing on the retention rate of TCNJ students who entered the Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) Program in 2004 showed that a new funding initiative has produced exceptional results. While the EOF Program has enjoyed considerable success since it was adopted by the College in 1968, the EOF Promise Award initiated by President R. Barbara Gitenstein three years ago has caused a spike in the rate of retention of EOF students.
