Hudson Valley Community College SUNY

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.

Enrolled full-time in an ASAP-eligible Hudson Valley A.A.S., A.O.S. or A.S. degree program (the college publishes the eligible list), with at least 12 credits per semester and a minimum 2.0 GPA. Eligible for in-state tuition. Complete FAFSA and TAP for the academic year or the HESC Alternate Eligibility Path, and receive at least $1 of federal Pell or NYS grant aid (TAP or Excelsior). Not EOP eligible. 21 or fewer earned college credits. Agree to attend all required ASAP activities. Confirm current requirements and availability with the campus.

The campus lists a cost-of-attendance award of $200 per semester, textbook assistance of $150 per semester and a monthly stipend of up to $200 per semester, plus a dedicated advisor and special registration. Student parents may ask about childcare, emergency funding and winter/summer course support. Annual amounts and a combined total are not shown because the page does not state the number of funded semesters per year. These are not guaranteed payments or enrollment; confirm current eligibility, aid, participation and availability with the campus.
