Opportunity Programs
NYU offers two special programs for residents of New York State.
Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program
Sponsored by the New York State Department of Education, Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program (Arthur O. Eve HEOP) at NYU is designed to assist students who are residents of New York State who are academically and educationally disadvantaged. In addition to financial assistance, students in the program receive supportive services including counseling and tutoring to help ensure their success. Students must meet academic and family income guidelines to be eligible, and must attend an eight-week summer program prior to the start of their freshman year. No special application is required for Arthur O. Eve HEOP consideration, and New York State residents are automatically reviewed for eligibility during our normal application review process.

Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (CSTEP)
CSTEP is a NYU program for New York State residents underrepresented in business, law, science, and health-related programs who do not qualify for the Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program (Arthur O. Eve HEOP) . CSTEP students receive the same academic and counseling services that Arthur O. Eve HEOP students receive, and participate in the same eight-week summer program before their freshman year. No special application is required for CSTEP consideration, and New York State residents are automatically reviewed for eligibility during our normal application review process.
