Educational Opportunity Program
What is EOP?
The Educational Opportunity Program at Finger Lakes Community College is part of a statewide program that provides academic support and financial assistance to qualifying students. Our goal is to expand opportunities to individuals traditionally by-passed by higher education. We seek applicants who show promise for mastering college-level work, but may not be admitted to selective-admission colleges due to an academic record which does not reflect this potential. EOP accepts both traditional-aged college applicants and adult learners who qualify, academically and financially, for the program.
EOP Supportive Services
- Academic, financial, and career planning
- Pre-freshman Summer Extended Orientation Program
- Tutoring program
- Assistance in identifying interests, abilities, and expectations
- General advising and personal support
- Help with accessing the services of other college offices
Who is eligible for EOP?
A first-time college student must meet both academic and financial guidelines. After reading the eligibility guidelines, please contact our office if you have unanswered questions.
How to apply for EOP
The free FLCC Application for Admission and the SUNY Application both have a box to check if an applicant is interested in EOP. When any application to the College is processed with the "EOP-yes" box checked, we will send appropriate information directly to the applicant. We usually begin processing fall EOP applications in February or March, and spring applications in October. Deadlines for applying are mid-August for fall and mid-January for spring. Any applicant to the College is encouraged to contact the EOP Office at any time with questions relating to EOP admission.
