The Act 101 Program provides excellent resources and co-curricular experiences to help financially and academically at-risk students succeed in SU's highly competitive academic environment.

Being an active participant in Act 101 entitles students to a number of privileges:

Act 101 staff will serve as advocates with campus offices and departments, including Financial Aid, the Registrar's Office, the Academic Standing Committee, etc. These students are also guaranteed priority scheduling for tutoring and other academic support services.

Participants may take part in statewide conferences and on-campus events sponsored by Act 101.

By fulfilling the Act 101 Program's participation requirements, students continue to have access to these and other benefits for as long as they are enrolled at Susquehanna.

The Higher Education Equal Opportunity Program (Act 101), established by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1971, encourages institutions of higher learning to admit low-income students who show the potential to succeed in college with adequate support (counseling, tutoring, and financial assitance). The goal of Act 101 is to help these institutions provide opportunities for disadvantaged students seeking a college education.

Act 101 participants are chosen on the basis of their academic potential, motivation, and aspirations. To be eligible for program services, students must be full-time residents of Pennsylvania and must meet certain economic and academic criteria.
