A Legacy Of Opportunity And Achievement:
The Higher Education Opportunity Program (H.E.O.P.) At Dowling College




Welcome to Dowling's Higher Education Opportunity Program (H.E.O.P.)

For more than 30 years, Dowling's H.E.O.P. has enabled students to hurdle the academic and financial barriers facing them. Through this program, Dowling College has graduated hundreds of students who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to procure a college degree.

Through its five-week intensive Summer Preparatory Program, the H.E.O.P. prepares inquisitive minds to face the rigors of collegiate life by offering developmental work in math, writing, reading comprehension, study skills and computer technology. Its myriad support services during the academic year alleviate many obstacles that can impede a student's pursuit of a degree. Personal attention and commitment of dedicated staff encourage students to pursue careers as airline pilots, social workers, teachers, engineers, doctors, lawyers and business executives.

As with all of Dowling's education opportunities, the Higher Education Opportunity Program echoes the college's commitment "to bring out the very best in each of our students through an environment that accommodates and celebrates individual career aspirations."
