<p>What are these AOP and HEOP all about?</p>
<p>I am confused too. Are these programs for New York students only? The deadline is right there. I am an international student. Somebody please help.</p>
<p>According to the Union web site: [url=<a href="http://www.union.edu/Admissions/Applying/TypesOfAdmission/aop_heop.php%5DAOP/HEOP%5B/url">http://www.union.edu/Admissions/Applying/TypesOfAdmission/aop_heop.php]AOP/HEOP[/url</a>]
NY state residency is only required for HEOP:</p>
<p>"Eligibility</p>
<p>AOP: You must be a US citizen or permanent resident and demonstrate need for additional academic and/or financial support.</p>
<p>HEOP: You must be a New York resident and meet state guidelines that demonstrate a need for financial support. HEOP is co-sponsored by the State Education Department and Union College."</p>
