Programs That Meet You Where You Are

College doesn’t start with an application. It starts with questions, new experiences and opportunities to discover what’s possible. Boilermaker Opportunity Program Plus (BOP+) programs and service teams help you explore interests, build confidence and take your next step toward Purdue.

Early Outreach

Learn about the steps you can take now to build a strong foundation for high school, college and beyond. Explore your interests, build confidence and gain a better understanding of the college admissions process. Through visits at your school and in your community, campus experiences at Purdue, virtual workshops and conversations that start long before senior year, we’re supporting the next generation of Boilermakers across Indiana.
