Mission Statement
The East Bay Consortium of Educational Institutions, Inc. (EBC) was established in 1978 to improve opportunities for students in the East Bay to finish high school and enroll in a college or university. EBC has been successful in consolidating the efforts and knowledge of its 12 member institutions into a solid campaign to increase higher education accessibility to the students it serves. The Consortium's main focus is to raise the achievement levels and provide advisement and academic support to students interested in pursuing an education beyond high school. Services include: in-class and after school tutoring, mentorship, academic and college advising, educational workshops, college visits, college fairs, financial aid and Cash for College workshops.
About This Cause
The East Bay Consortium (EBC) operates as a collaborative of 12 educational institutions in the Bay Area. Together, EBC works to bring East Bay youth the widest possible range of services. With their help, our efforts are multiplied, and we can positively affect thousands of young women and men each year. Our member institutions are: Oakland Unified and West Contra Costa Unified School Districts, CSU East Bay, UC Berkeley, Peralta Colleges, Contra Costa College, Berkeley High School, Mills College at Northeastern, Saint Mary’s College and Centro Legal de la Raza. Each institution is represented on EBC’s board of directors. The Consortium operates a broad range of programs: The California Student Opportunity and Access Program one of 15 regional Cal-SOAP projects operated for 35 years under a contract with the California Student Aid Commission helps students improve their academic performance and makes information about postsecondary education and financial aid more widely available. Over 9,000 students are served each year. Our academic and advisement programs are dedicated to promoting access to higher education. For the last 12 years, EBC has served as the Regional Coordinator for the statewide program Cash for College. Over 52 financial aid workshops provide free assistance to over 3,000 students and families completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and other forms required for financial aid for college.
