Tuition Assistance Program

Brianne Letta reporting in Newsday that there are several steps to take as you navigate the complex and sometimes stressful process of maximizing financial aid and scholarship.

New York students should fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, the FAFSA, and apply for the New York State Tuition Assistance Program, known as TAP.

Submitting the FAFSA puts students into consideration for federal, state, and school financial aid programs, including grants, scholarships, work-study funds, and loans.

Applying for TAP is a prerequisite for other state aid programs.
