(UNIONDALE, N.Y.) – Nassau County Legislator Olena Nicks (D – Uniondale) proudly joined leaders of Nassau Community College on Monday, March 30 to honor the 2026 Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) Academic Achievement Award honorees. Presented in partnership with SUNY, the EOP provides access, support, and financial assistance to students who show promise for succeeding in college despite challenges in preparation and financial assistance.
“Nassau Community College’s EOP is more than a program – it is a community and a hub for mentorship and guidance,” Legislator Nicks said. “The pursuit of higher education can sometimes be filled with obstacles, and programs such as EOP help lighten those burdens. It was a pleasure to be part of a celebration that highlights outstanding students who have overcome so much in their educational journey.”
