The mission of Fredonia’s Educational Development Program is to recruit, encourage, and assist individuals who are traditionally underrepresented in post-secondary education because of income, family educational backgrounds, disability, or other relevant federal, state, and/or institutional criteria to enter and complete post-secondary education. The continued focus of program staff and campus administration is the on-going effort to increase and retain through to graduation the number of students admitted to the college through EOP with the appropriate academic and financial support.
