Participates in HEOP
An opportunity program — it combines admission through the program itself with advising, tutoring and money for college costs — for bachelor's-degree students. It is support layered on top of your Pell, TAP or Excelsior aid, not a tuition waiver.
This campus publishes the kinds of support it offers but not the dollar amounts. Ask the campus HEOP team for the current figures.
Places are limited, so meeting the requirements does not guarantee a spot.
Be a New York State resident. Be economically disadvantaged: a member of a household whose total annual income is equal to or less than 185 percent of the US Department of Health and Human Services poverty guidelines. Be educationally disadvantaged — each participating institution sets its own criteria, which include the probability of academic success and non-admissibility under the college's normal admissions standards. Applications and questions about eligibility and financial need must be made directly to the college.
Provides screening and testing assistance; structured academic support including a pre-entry summer program, counseling, tutoring and developmental coursework; supplemental financial and tuition assistance; and career counseling and one-on-one mentoring. NYSED publishes no dollar amounts — the award is determined by the institution.
Participates in EOP
An opportunity program — it combines admission through the program itself with advising, tutoring and money for college costs — for bachelor's-degree students. It is support layered on top of your Pell, TAP or Excelsior aid, not a tuition waiver.
This campus publishes the kinds of support it offers but not the dollar amounts. Ask the campus EOP team for the current figures.
Places are limited, so meeting the requirements does not guarantee a spot.
Be a New York State resident for the 12 months before enrolling. Require alternate admissions consideration — EOP is for students who show promise but may not otherwise be offered admission. Qualify as economically disadvantaged: household income must not exceed a limit set annually by household size, unless your circumstances meet a published exception (the family receives Family Assistance, Safety Net or Family Day Care payments; the student is in foster care; or the student is a ward of the court or county). Open to first-time, full-time, matriculated students. A transfer student must have been enrolled in EOP, College Discovery, SEEK, HEOP or a similar program at their previous college. Admission is subject to program capacity, and priority goes to applicants from historically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Provides personal counseling, academic advisement, tutoring, skill development workshops, supplemental instruction and mentoring, plus modest financial aid toward non-tuition costs such as books and supplies. SUNY publishes no per-campus dollar amounts. Applicants may qualify for application fee waivers on their first seven campus choices. Students found ineligible for EOP may still qualify for admission and financial aid through the ordinary processes. EOP here covers the NYS College of Ceramics, the SUNY statutory college hosted at this private university — not the university as a whole. This institution separately runs HEOP for its endowed side.
