NYS Opportunity Program Funding

On December 8, the New York State Legislature passed a bill that approved $9 million in additional funding for student aid including: $5.5 million for opportunity programs (HEOP, EOP and College Discovery); $1.8 million for STEP/C-STEP; and $1.7 million for Liberty Partnerships. This is great news and a show of tremendous support for these empowering programs, especially during these challenging fiscal times.
