Programs and services offered through the Office of Educational Equity provide academic support services to Portland State students, as well as college information and educational support services to students in many of the Portland metropolitan area middle schools and high schools. Comprehensive academic support programs are available for students who come from diverse backgrounds, especially those who have been traditionally underrepresented in post-secondary education. EEPS programs and services are geared to help students achieve greater success at all levels through enhancement of writing and math skills, academic advising, counseling, advocacy, mentoring opportunities, and scholarship information delivered by a multi-cultural staff.
