Despite coming from halfway across the state, thanks to the U of A's Engineering Career Awareness Program, Montavius Eason already had "great friends" before arriving for his freshman year at the U of A. The program, also called ECAP, is designed to support students with financial need, particularly first-generation college students, as well as students from areas that are less well-represented at the U of A. ECAP offers financial assistance and a three-week summer bridge program to help students transition into university life. Throughout their time on campus, students receive continuous support and resources, including mentorship, professional development and career guidance.
