Graduate Opportunity Program (GOP)
What is the Graduate Opportunity Program and who is eligible?
The Graduate Opportunity Program provides tuition assistance to EOP, HEOP, and SEEK program graduates undertaking graduate study at a participating SUNY institution. Because funding is limited, early application to the campus of choice is encouraged.
What will the Graduate Opportunity Program provide?
The graduate opportunity program will provide students with financial support to cover tuition at participating SUNY graduate and professional institution.
What is the application procedure?
Students must apply and be admitted to a participating campus prior to approval of Graduate Opportunity Program funding. Documentation of a student's prior status as an opportunity program student is also required. Students who are interested in graduate study are encouraged to consult with their undergraduate program director.
How to Apply

When completing your graduate application, be sure to indicate that you previously participated in EOP, HEOP or SEEK during your undergraduate studies.
2. Submit Verification:
If you completed an Educational Opportunity Program, you must arrange for an official verification memo from your undergraduate EOP director to be sent directly to
[email protected]
. To be considered official, the memo must come directly from the institution and be on institutional letterhead.
