The Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) was created to assist students who, because of financial and academic hardships, would otherwise be unable to earn a college degree. An important part of NYIT’s mission is to provide educational opportunity to all qualified students, and HEOP helps to make that possible. Depending on your needs and circumstances, the program can offer you financial assistance for tuition, books, transportation, and some personal expenses. In addition, you will receive academic and personal counseling, study skills training, tutoring, and career counseling from NYIT student services professionals.
