HEP and CAMP are part of the Center for Multicultural and Educational Opportunities (CMEO) in the College of Education and are funded by the U.S. Department of Education to support students from farmworker backgrounds. HEP helps students attain a GED and upon graduation places them in job, education, or military opportunities. CAMP helps students complete a college education. CAMP offers financial support the first year as well as academic and personal support until students graduate. The program also helps participants secure jobs, internships, grants, and scholarships to finance college.
