About the Arthur O. Eve HEOP Program

HEOPThe Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program is a partnership between the State of New York and its independent colleges and universities, 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. The success these students have depends on the academic and supportive services HEOP programs provide and the financial aid assistance that makes attending college a reality. The HEOP Programs at Independent Colleges and Universities Making A Difference for New York State: The independent colleges and Universities of New York have created "opportunity programs" that succeed better than any similar programs nationwide. Their commitment to serving the needs of our State's disadvantaged youth has been one of the best buys for the taxpayers of New York.

The Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program is regarded as one of the most successful programs of its type in the nation. The academic achievement and graduation rate of HEOP students compare favorably to other college students, and, to date, more than 20,200 men and women have graduated from participating independent colleges and universities. Most HEOP graduates begin their careers immediately after graduation; many continue their studies to achieve permanent certification as teachers, to attain advanced degrees needed for professional license, or to enhance their credentials in their chosen careers. The success of the Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program is not in the numbers but in the lives of the students who are now empowered to make choices about their lives that would have been impossible without this unique partnership between the State of New York and its independent colleges and universities.
