Introduction The Educational Opportunities Program seeks to provide admission opportunities for economically and educationally disadvantaged students who wish to enroll in one of the many undergraduate departments at the University at Albany. While students and families are expected to assist themselves financially as much as possible, the university realizes that most students admitted to EOP require almost full support through available grants, scholarships, jobs and loans. All EOP students are guaranteed enough financial aid to pay for university charges, books, and personal costs. The program provides supportive services designed to help students who need assistance in academic, financial, social or personal matters. One objective of EOP is to see that each student admitted is provided with all the services and assistance necessary for success in whatever degree program he or she is to complete. It is anticipated that through a spirit of cooperation and sincerity among all those interested in their education, students in the EOP Program will experience significant changes in their lives while attending the University at Albany. | |
