TRIO Support Services (S.T.A.R. Program)

This is a special program that provides grant dollars (free, no payback) and support services like academic, personal counseling, advising and more if you meet their eligibility requirements.  You can apply to be part of the STAR program and receive these services.  Their mission is to provide support outside of the classroom that helps you develop the necessary tools to be successful.

EOP provides academic support services, personal counseling and financial assistance (including financial assistance in purchasing your textbooks each semester) to New York State residents who are first time college students and enroll full-time. EOP is committed to the recruitment, retention and graduation of students who normally would not be afforded the chance to pursue a college education.

If you are preparing for a major leading to careers in mathematics, science, technology and health-related fields and/or licensed professions, you should consider CSTEP.  Our mission is to provide resources and support to help students succeed.
