EOP Income Criteria
EOP applicants must meet the low-income guidelines listed in the table below and demonstrate their family is unable to provide an annual contribution of more than $1,500 toward their college expenses. Applicants whose total family income exceeds the guidelines may be considered if their parents' contribution does not exceed $1,500. These guidelines are not intended to exclude disadvantaged students but to identify and give priority to those students who have the most financial need.
