What Happens After I Submit an EOF Application?

If your information meets EOF state guidelines and institutional regulations, you may receive an Offer of Admission, along with a request to schedule an interview with our department. Once the interview process is completed, students selected for admission into EOF will receive an Official Acceptance Letter.

Prospective EOF Scholars must ensure the following:
Your institutional financial aid documentation is complete. Check your student portal to ensure all RCSJ financial aid documentation is submitted.
