The Region 3 Educator and Provider Support (EPS) grant, also known as the R3P, includes seven regional colleges as collaborating partners that have received funding through this grant to offer college courses, advising and support to eligible participants for free or at a significantly reduced cost. Each college provides different courses and services, so it is important to know which program and location best meets your needs and goals.
