EOP Verification

Applicants must meet both academic and financial eligibility requirements to be accepted into EOP.

If it is determined that you are academically eligible, you will then need to verify your financial eligibility by logging into your application portal, either your SUNY Application or the EOP Financial Information Portal. There, you can upload any missing documentation listed in your EOP checklist.

If you have already uploaded all required documentation and still have questions about your financial eligibility, please contact the Recruitment Response Center at 1-800-342-3811 or via email at asksuny@suny.edu.

Visit the SUNY Delhi EOP Office web page for more information about our program.

EOP Financial Verification Process

Economic Eligibility Overview

The verification process requires a historical review of the household size and total annual income. Total annual income includes all taxable and non-taxable funds that are received by the household for general use. Such funds may be derived from sources such as wages, dividends, interest, social security, disability pensions, veteran's benefits and unemployment benefits. For more information on the economic eligibility requirements, visit the SUNY Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) web page.

• Complete the EOP Financial Information Form using either the SUNY Application  or Common Application , depending on how you applied for admission to SUNY Delhi. If you did not indicate your EOP interest upon submission of your college application, you may contact the SUNY Delhi admissions office to update your application status, enroll@delhi.edu. Or you may contact asksuny@delhi.edu or 1.800.342.3811
• After submitting the Financial Information Form, review your checklist items and upload all required documents within your application portal (such as signed taxes or proof of public assistance, for example).
• Submit the FASFA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) using 2024 income information by visiting www.studentaid.gov/fafsa
  • Get started by creating a Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID)  and, if dependent, your parent(s) must also create their own ID.  Safely store your ID for each subsequent year that you apply for federal financial aid.
  • Complete and submit the online FAFSA as accurately as possible.
  • Add SUNY Delhi as a school of choice using our school code: 002857

Be on the lookout for requests for additional information from the SUNY Recruitment Response Center and SUNY Delhi by email and/or mail to your address on file.

After submission of the FAFSA, the confirmation page should provide a link to apply for NYS financial aid, such as the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). Otherwise, submit the NYS Student Aid Application online at the Higher Education Service Corporation (HESC) website.  Although this application is not required for determining EOP eligibility, this is an important opportunity for additional financial assistance.
