Realize Your Potential
Educational Opportunity Program
For more than 50 years, the SUNY Educational Opportunity
Program has made college attendance possible for students
with limited income who are academically underprepared.
EOP ensures that students with academic potential are
provided the opportunity to attend a SUNY college, earn a
degree and achieve their life goals.
EOP provides eligible students with a pre-freshman
summer program experience, tutoring and academic support,
skill development opportunities, counseling, and modest
financial support.

Are You Eligible?
To be eligible for admission to EOP you must:
(1) be a New York State resident for 12 months prior to
enrollment; (2) require alternate admissions consideration;
and (3) qualify as economically disadvantaged according
to the guidelines indicated. In selecting students for the
program, priority is given to applicants from historically
disadvantaged backgrounds. Please note that eligibility
does not guarantee admission.

Academic Eligibility
Academic eligibility will vary by campus. To view the
EOP freshman profile for each campus, visit suny.edu/
eop-academics.

Financial Eligibility
The table to the right lists financial guidelines for EOP
eligibility. To be determined economically disadvantaged,
your household income must not exceed the amount shown
for its size, or your circumstances must conform to one of
the following: (1) your family is primarily dependent on
public assistance; (2) you are in foster care as established
by the court; or (3) you are a ward of the state or county.
Eligibility guidelines may be adjusted slightly each year.
