Higher Education Opportunity Program ( HEOP) grants are available for entering freshmen and a limited number of transfer students from other EOP, HEOP, and SEEK programs. The Higher Education Opportunity Program is a five-year program of study specifically designed for students who are educationally and economically "disadvantaged." Supportive services, including tutorials, academic, personal and career counseling, and a program of developmental courses (for those identified as needing such a program) are available for HEOP students. HEOP grants are renewable for succeeding years, depending on continued announcements of awards from the State Education Department to Long Island University. In addition, the student must maintain a satisfactory academic average, remain in full-time regular degree-seeking classification, and demonstrate continued progress toward a degree.

If you think you are eligible for the Higher Education Opportunity Program, please write on the top of the LlU application "HEOP." For additional information, please call the Higher Education Opportunity Program Office at (718) 488-1043.
