Transfer Students

Am I Eligible?

To qualify for NJIT’s Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), students must meet the NJ EOF income requirements.

Important: Meeting the income guidelines does not guarantee admission – it also depends on space and funding.

Priority is given to:

• First-time, full-time freshmen
• EOF transfer students in good standing

If accepted, students must take part in EOP’s academic support services.
