EOP Income Guidelines



Applicants must meet the low-income guidelines listed below and demonstrate that their family is unable to provide an annual contribution of more than $1,500 toward their college expenses. These guidelines are not intended to exclude disadvantaged applicants, but to identify those students who demonstrate a financial need. EOP applicants who qualify for financial aid may receive an EOP grant of $750. To be considered, you must apply for financial aid. Apply as soon as possible after January 1, 2010 since EOP grants will be awarded only as long as funds are available.
