The New School Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) is a partnership between the New York State Education Department and The New School. This program is designed for students who have the potential and drive to further their education but whose limited academic and financial resources prevent them from attending college. The goal of HEOP is to retain and graduate talented students who will succeed at the college level and beyond.
To ensure equity for all, The New School’s Higher Education Opportunity Program offers academic support and financial scholarships for students with diverse needs who meet program requirements. Students must be applying for undergraduate study and be a resident of New York State
