We meet with scholars one-on-one to provide support for academic, career and personal development. Each cohort has an assigned counselor to address the needs of that particular group of excited scholars.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Support a Current High School Student or Transfer Student Interested in Applying to EOF<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>When students apply to Monmouth University through the Common Application, they should indicate they are interested in EOF. That will automatically email the supplemental EOF application to be completed online.<\/li>\n<li>Students will need to complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)\u00a0 or New Jersey Alternative Financial Aid Application with &#8220;prior- prior&#8221; tax information and upload any additional documentation that may be requested.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage your student to be themselves during their interview process. We understand it is a stressful day but we want to learn about who they are!<\/li>\n<li>The student should remain in contact with Undergraduate Admissions for updates on their application.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to Support Current EOF Scholars<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Most questions and concerns can be addressed when you refer the scholar to their EOF Counselor to talk it through. We have staff available Monday- Friday between 8:45am-5pm.<\/li>\n<li>Remind scholars each year to complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or New Jersey Alternative Financial Aid Application with &#8220;prior- prior&#8221; tax information and upload any additional documentation that may be requested.<\/li>\n<li>When you have information that would be helpful for us to know, please contact us at (732) 571-3462 or eof@monmouth.edu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_378\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-378\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-378 size-large\" style=\"object-position: 48.1421875% 40.1021875%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/eof\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/206\/2020\/01\/IMG_0638-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Group photo of EOF Alumni Networking Panel\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/eof\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/206\/2020\/01\/IMG_0638-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/eof\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/206\/2020\/01\/IMG_0638-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/eof\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/206\/2020\/01\/IMG_0638-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/eof\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/206\/2020\/01\/IMG_0638-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/eof\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/206\/2020\/01\/IMG_0638-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/eof\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/206\/2020\/01\/IMG_0638-1120x747.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/eof\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/206\/2020\/01\/IMG_0638-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/eof\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/206\/2020\/01\/IMG_0638-280x187.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/eof\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/206\/2020\/01\/IMG_0638-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/eof\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/206\/2020\/01\/IMG_0638-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/eof\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/206\/2020\/01\/IMG_0638-2800x1867.jpg 2800w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/eof\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/206\/2020\/01\/IMG_0638-1400x933.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/eof\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/206\/2020\/01\/IMG_0638-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/eof\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/206\/2020\/01\/IMG_0638-3000x2000.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/eof\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/206\/2020\/01\/IMG_0638-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/eof\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/206\/2020\/01\/IMG_0638.jpg 5184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-378\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alumni Networking Panel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"eofrect\">\n<div class='rectangle grey title '><h4>Questions?
