Educational Opportunity Program The State University of New York’s Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) provides access, academic support, emotional support, and financial aid to students who show promise for succeeding in college, but who may not have otherwise been admitted. Available primarily to full-time, matriculated students, the program supports students throughout their college careers. Students are considered for the program at the point of admission (freshman and transfer) and cannot join as continuing students. New EOP students are required to attend a five-week summer program at Maritime before freshman year. EOP students receive up to 10 semesters of financial support, must meet with their EOP Advisor each semester to review their academic progress and attend required weekly study hall. All EOP students must abide by standard SUNY Maritime academic policies and procedures. Office of Financial Aid financialaid@sunymaritime.edu Phone: 718-409-7400, option 3, Baylis Hall, Enrollment Services The Office of Financial Aid primary role is to identify possible sources of assistance and financing options so that students can successfully complete their course of study. Maritime offers financial aid in the form of merit-based scholarships, need-based grants and student employment, as well as student and parent educational loans. In most cases, to receive financial aid, students must demonstrate financial need. Financial need is the difference between the total cost of attendance and the amount that a student and or family can reasonably be expected to contribute as determined by Federal guidelines using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Financial aid awards are “packaged” to meet the needs of the recipient within the framework of the funds available and may include: • Scholarships and grants such as New York State (NYS) Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), Excelsior (for UG NYS residents), or Federal Pell Grants, which do not have to be repaid. • Federal Direct Loans which must be repaid to Department of Education, and Federal Work-Study, which requires that the student work for monies awarded.
