This annual report describes the Higher Education Opportunity Programs (HEOP), which serve educationally and economically disadvantaged students at independent colleges and universities in New York State. Seventy-eight programs at 61 independent colleges and universities received $19,863,000 in state aid in 1992-93 for a full-time equivalent enrollment of 6,474 HEOP students. Almost 39 percent of the HEOP student population were Black and 32.7 percent were Spanish-surnamed. Colleges provided structured supportive services, including a prefreshman summer program; remedial, developmental, and supportive courses; tutoring; and counseling. Of first-time freshmen attending the prefreshman summer program, 95.2 percent returned in the fall and 88.3 percent continued in the spring. HEOP students performed well academically, completing 85.9 percent of credits attempted. Over 60 percent of the 1988-89 entering freshmen had graduated or were in position to graduate by spring 1993. The report describes program administration, eligibility, student profiles, campus programs, student achievement, and program financing. Thirty tables and nine figures present program statistical data. Appendices provide further data on demographic characteristics, per student expenditures, and financial aid. (JDD)
