SUNY Outreach
SUNY (State University of New York) Educational Outreach was initiated by the Educational Opportunity Centers to provide urban area residents an opportunity to explore their college options. Since its inception in 1986, the office has offered assistance, advocacy, and referrals to over 12,000 potential college students.
SAT Prep
Juniors and Seniors in high school can take the SAT Preparation class free of charge at the Rochester Educational Opportunity Center. Students who have participated in the program have increased their SAT scores by an average of 80 points. Classes are approximately six weeks in length and meet Monday and Wednesday.
Financial Aid
Many students and parents become frustrated over the financial aid process. Financial aid does not have to be complicated. There are many resources to help you. The most important resource is the college itself. Every college has a Financial Aid office with experienced professionals that are available to answer your questions. Remember it is their job to see that each student can afford to go to their college.
