Educational Opportunity Program (EOP)
The Arthur O. Eve Educational Opportunity Program, known as EOP, is a state-funded initiative of the State University of New York system. The program is designed to make college possible for talented students who have limited financial resources and are academically underprepared to attend a SUNY college, earn a degree, and achieve their life goals.
Students applying for the program must meet academic and financial eligibility requirements. Students must qualify as economically disadvantaged according to income guidelines set by the New York State Education Department (financial eligibility is based on family income from the prior year) document.
Transferring and returning students who were enrolled in a similar post-secondary opportunity program such as EOP, HEOP, SEEK, or College Discovery at their previous institutions may be eligible for EOP at Finger Lakes Community College. Verification of previous status is required.
Students selected to participate in the Educational Opportunity Program have the potential and motivation to succeed in college. Program participants receive a variety of academic support services and modest financial support to alleviate non-tuition costs (e.g. books, supplies etc.) Available primarily to full-time, matriculated students, the program supports students throughout their college careers within the SUNY system. In addition, a pre-freshman summer orientation program is offered to students enrolling during the Fall Semester to acquaint them with the college environment.
