College (PB)

I'm so passionate and dedicated about going to college. I finish sending out all my applications. All I have left to do is send out my transcripts and SAT scores. I'm now working on applying to EOP. I'm passionate about applying to this program. everyday I call different counselor from the college EOP program just so they can be familiar with me. EOP stands for Educational Opportunity Program. It provides academic, personal and financial support to New York State residents who hold a high school diploma or its equivalent, and who have the academic potential to earn a college degree.  Although EOP applicants do not meet general admissions criteria due to historic academic or economic disadvantage, they demonstrate a high level of personal motivation and are receptive to receiving support. I feel like this program is fit for me because based off my financial situation and academic performance my college choices are limited.The EOP program will provide me with the tools I need to earn my degree. EOP will benefit me economically, socially and educationally. EOP will benefit me by providing financial assistance for my textbooks and supplies. I may not be able to afford books that I need for certain courses. EOP can afford whatever my family cant. The program will benefit me socially by meeting other college students who are in the same predicament as me. I will also be able to interact with students from different cultures. I can benefit from this by being exposed to diversity and learning how to adapt to other students lifestyle. EOP benefits me educationally by helping me get through college academically. I will be provided with academic support that I need. For example a tutor, I’ll receive extra help with my college work. EOP will benefit me because I will be able to take advantage of what the program is offering and succeed in college.
