Dear Community, We hope this email finds you well. We are pleased to announce that the EOP Graduation Gown Lending Project Spring 2017 application is now open!.  This project is intended to serve all EOP students at UC Berkeley by providing a cap and gown free of charge. Graduation can be an exciting moment for students, but the cost of purchasing a cap and gown can come as a burden and impede them from fully enjoying their academic achievement. Students are encouraged to  apply  once the application opens due to the limited amount of gowns available, however there is over 500 gowns in our inventory to distribute.  In order to qualify, a student must either be 1) Low-income and/or 2) First Generation and/or 3) Historically Underrepresented. Unsure of EOP status? Stop by the EOP office in 119 Cesar Chavez to be verified by one of our counselors or apply to be EOP here. Here is the link to the application:  https://goo.gl/forms/Spo6YZJ3d gtzTlA83...
