 The University of Pennsylvania has an Office of Equity and Access Programs (EAP). EAP is here to provide professional guidance to scholars of all ages and backgrounds. Our extensive array of services and programs is designed to help you succeed in your academic achievements.
As part of PENN's University Life Division, EAP offers individual and group tutoring, and mid-term and finals review sessions for all PENN students. We guide first-year students through the initial transition process and help upper-class students plan for their futures. Our support services help students enhance learning in core academic subjects, manage their time, find financial aid, meet mentors, and feel more confident about their abilities.
Equity and Access Programs also offers college preparatory programs for students from sixth grade to adults, including area military veterans. Through a series of integrated programs, pathways and partnerships, EAP provides an educational pipeline, or continuum, that supports emerging scholars in their quest to succeed academically, from the pre-college level through graduate and professional school.
EAP is an invaluable resource for anyone serious about his or her goal to earn an education at the University of Pennsylvania or to pursue a college degree at other institutions of higher education. Call or stop by today to take advantage of the professional and caring team available to help you make the most of your Penn experience.
2009 Diversity Fund
The Diversity fund was established more than a dozen years ago to promote the University’s mission to create and maintain a diverse student body, faculty and community, as well as to facilitate research on diversity in higher education.
The fund supports implementation of schools’ strategic plans to support the presence of underrepresented groups, research on diversity in higher education, and projects that diversify the campus. Our intention is to seed innovative projects which, if successful, can then be supported by schools, centers and extramural funding. Multi-year projects will be considered and, although the amount of funding provided will vary, most awards will not exceed $30,000 per year. Priority consideration will be given to projects with strong prospects for sustainability, as reflected in matching financial commitments from schools or centers, extramural support or well-articulated plans to seek such support.
