Eligibility To be eligible for admission to EOP you must be: A New York State resident for 12 months prior to enrollment; Require special admissions consideration; and Qualify as economically disadvantaged according to the guidelines. In selecting students for the program, priority is given to applicants from historically disadvantaged backgrounds. Fee Waiver Students submitting an application for EOP consideration may qualify for an application fee waiver for their first four (4) campus choices.

The Higher Education Opportunity Program is a partnership between the State of New York and its independent institutes which provides economically and educationally disadvantaged residents the possibility of a college education. What makes HEOP unique is that it serves students who would not normally be admissible to the colleges they attend.

To be eligible for HEOP you must be a resident of New York State for at least one year, must have a high school diploma, be educationally and economically disadvantaged and have motivation for higher learning and college completion. To apply for admission to a Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP), request an application from the institution that you are interested in attending and/or check for supplemental forms on CommonApp.org. There are 58 HEOP programs throughout New York State.

QuestBridge National College Match Program  The QuestBridge National College Match is designed for high school seniors who have shown outstanding academic ability despite facing economic challenges. Most College Match scholarship recipients come from households earning less than $60,000 annually (for a typical family of four) and have experienced long-term economic hardship. QuestBridge Students receive:  Full cost of tuition: up to $40,000 per year, depending on the college.  Full cost of room and board: up to $15,000 per year, depending on the college.

How To Apply: QuestBridge  The National College Match application requires you to provide extensive information on your academic accomplishments and financial background, as well as write three essays, complete short answer questions, and gather three letters of recommendation, a transcript, and test score reports.  The National College Match allows you to apply to up to 8 of our partner colleges by using one application. You will be asked to rank these colleges in order of your preference. The National College Match application is due on September 30.  The QuestBridge Regular Decision process allows you to apply to any or all of our partner colleges through a traditional regular decision process. You may choose not to rank colleges for the College Match process and only apply to our partner colleges for Regular Decision. Or, if you apply for the College Match and are not selected for a match scholarship, you can request to have your application forwarded to our partner colleges for Regular Decision. In order to participate in the Regular Decision process, you must submit your National College Match application by September 30.
