North Carolina Educational Opportunity Programs

All students deserve the chance to pursue postsecondary education to expand their knowledge, skillset, and prospects for the workforce. NC Educational Opportunity Programs are designed with the goal of providing every prospective student in North Carolina the opportunity to attend an educational program.

New Payment Process
Effective August 1, 2024, CACRAO will no longer accept check payments. This decision has been made after careful consideration by the Executive Committee and is aimed at streamlining our financial processes, limiting lost revenue due to nonpayment, and ensuring a secure and efficient payment system. We understand that this change may require some adjustment, and we are committed to making the transition as smooth as possible.

It is the responsibility of each college or university to inform their representatives of the CACRAO Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics will be in effect at all CACRAO Educational Opportunity Programs, and is applicable to all participating organizations, whether or not they are CACRAO members. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in disciplinary actions including, but not limited to, supervisory notification, vacating the event without refund, or expulsion from the Educational Opportunity circuit of the representative or the institution without refund.
