<p>Sybbie has given you some very good EOP info for NY and for Barnard College. As the parameters and situations can differ if you are looking at other schools and states, you need to google "EOP"; and the specific school you are researching. California does things quite differently from NY, for instance, and you do not state where you are from. Also within CA, schools can differ.</p>

<p>I think she asked about TAP ( NYS Tutition Aid Plan) before also, that is why I am assuming she is from NY</p>

<p>... And her location says New York, NY. ^^</p>

<p>You've been given excellent advice, sexy123. If you're interested in other school systems, ask more specifically and I'm sure someone'll be able to help.</p>
