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.
