Educational Opportunity Program (EOP)

The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) is available only to New York State residents. It is a state-funded initiative designed to provide an alternative means to gain access to college. Its goal is to assist you if your high school academic achievement was adversely affected by family financial hardship.

In addition to providing access to college, the EOP Program offers the following personal and academic support services:

• Identification of financial resources to cover college costs

• A personal advisor whose services are available throughout your undergraduate college career

• A free, comprehensive tutoring program

• A workshop series focused on skills needed to succeed in college.

In order to apply for this Program, if you are filing the Common Application (preferred), you should contact Kristine Shay directly at shay@geneseo.edu.  If you use the SUNY Application, you should answer “yes” to the Educational Opportunity Program question on the application.  The deadline to complete your EOP application is March 1, 2013, and all decisions will be rendered by March 15, 2013.
