Circle of Opportunity
The Circle of Opportunity recognizes those individuals, who, through their generous annual contributions, have exhibited steadfast dedication to Eastern Kentucky University. At Eastern, historically known as the School of Opportunity, we have a strong tradition of providing deserving students with a quality education that is within their financial reach. Yet, as you are aware, state assistance to academic institutions is waning and tuition income in no way covers the actual cost to educate student.
