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.
