It was featured in the PBS series Communities Building Community. EPICS has been supported by over $5.1M in federal grants and over $5.5M in corporate and alumni gifts.</span></span></span>

==== Students ====
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The benefits of EPICS for a university are numerous. Students are more successful, it encourages retention, and the program is cost effective. Purdue in particular uses corporate sponsors to cover fees and provides good PR for the university. EPICS overall sees encouraging partnerships with the community and universities.

==== Community ====
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; EPICS encourages partnerships instead of projects. Some projects for a partner will last several semesters and have many different students working on it. This method allows community pa<span style="font-size:smaller;"></span>rtners partners to have more control over what they need help with and projects are often seen through to completion. Partners also have the ability to fire students. In this way EPICS is inclusive to community partners, gives them a voice, and provides real value.&nbsp;
<span style="font&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Each team has a multi-sizeyear partnership with a community service or education organization. Projects are in four broad areas:small;"></span>human services, access and abilities, education and outreach, and the environment. EPICS teams have delivered hundreds of projects to their community partners.
