To
qualify for admission to the College at Oneonta’s
Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), a student must be a
New York State resident and possess a high school diploma or
GED. The student must also meet the academic and
financial eligibility requirements for the program.
To begin consideration, be sure to check “yes” for the EOP
option (question #31 on paper application/question #3 on web
application) on the
SUNY admissions application. As
an EOP applicant, your application fee is waived.
To
be academically eligible, a student must be
ineligible for admission under the general admissions
guidelines at the College at Oneonta. The EOP admissions
committee will review each applicant’s academic performance,
limitations in preparation for college, and demonstrated
potential for earning a college degree.
Financial eligibility
starts with the family income guidelines established by the
State of New York (table below).
