The Educational Opportunities Program (EOP) seeks to provide admission opportunities for economically and educationally disadvantaged students of all races who are residents of New York State and 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 the EOP require almost full support through available grants, scholarships, jobs and loans. The program provides supportive services designed to help students who need assistance in academic, financial, social and personal matters.
