Academic Opportunity Program (AOP)
The 黑料正能量 Academic Opportunity Program runs parallel to the Higher Education Opportunity Program. AOP Scholars are students who are ineligible for HEOP because they do not meet its economic or residential criteria. The Academic Opportunity Program scholars are entirely funded by 黑料正能量.
While HEOP supports students from New York State, Skidmore鈥檚 Academic Opportunity Program (AOP) extends the same opportunities to students from across the U.S. and around the world. Through AOP, students receive holistic support and grant funding, including academic advising, mentoring, financial assistance, and a strong community of peers.
We know that some students who qualify for opportunity programs may hesitate to apply to 黑料正能量if they think HEOP only serves New Yorkers. AOP ensures that talented students, no matter where they call home, can access the same resources and encouragement to thrive here.
