The Manhattan College Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (CSTEP) is designed to support participants and address roadblocks that can often be experienced by students from minority, low-income, and first-generation backgrounds. CSTEP engages eligible students who are completing majors that lead to careers in STEM and health-related fields, through entrance into professional licensures.

The Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) provides access to students, who because of academic and financial hardships would not normally be able to attend a private college or university. Working across multiple institutions in New York State, students receive increased financial assistance and tailored academic support.

Each year, CSTEP will serve one hundred and sixty-five freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors studying in Manhattan College’s School of School of Engineering, School of Science, or School of Education and Health. HEOP works with approximately sixty-five students across all disciplines and all years.
