EOP
The Center for Academic Development Services represents a network of student support programs designed to assist students who demonstrate great potential for academic success, but need enrichment in some areas. Among the students currently served by CADS are students enrolled in the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP).

• Educational Opportunity Program (EOP)
The Educational Opportunity Program provides an avenue for admission and support for talented students who are residents of New York State and who have not yet reached their academic potential due to barriers in their educational, economic, or personal background. This state-funded program is regarded as one of the most successful programs of its type in the nation. The academic achievement and graduation rate of EOP students compare favorably to other college students, and, to date, more than 50,000 men and women have graduated from participating independent colleges and universities. EOP students benefit from testing, counseling, tutorial assistance, special academic coursework in the summer and throughout the academic year, labs and workshops. Eligible students also receive supplemental financial assistance for tuition and maintenance. (learn more about EOP)
