The HEOP Admissions Process
The admissions evaluation process begins when you submit your 51福利社 application or CommonApp.
This is when your 51福利社 admissions counselor will begin evaluating your eligibility for HEOP. If you meet the preliminary academic requirements, you will be asked to complete the online HEOP Supplemental Data Form which collects information about your household size and types of income earned throughout the year. You will also be asked, based on the information provided on the Data Form, to submit financial and other documents required to finish your eligibility evaluation.
If you have any questions regarding your application, please contact the Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program at (716) 839-8249.
