The Arthur O. Eve - Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) was created in 1969 by the New York State Legislature to assist in providing access for all New Yorkers to the state's private colleges and universities. The program has been in continuous operation at Daemen College since January, 1970. As an eligible HEOP student at Daemen College you will receive special academic and financial assistance to enable you to compete equally and earn an undergraduate degree. Sponsored jointly by the State Education Department and Daemen College, HEOP at Daemen will offer you comprehensive academic support services and full need financial aid packaging.
