NY State Financial Aid Programs

TAP is a grant given to students attending a college in New York State. Only New York State residents are eligible. 

Upon completing the online FAFSA form, you will be prompted to the Express TAP Application. Complete both the FAFSA and the TAP form for consideration. If you do not file the FAFSA online, request an Express TAP Application (ETA) from New York State HESC (Higher Education Services Corporation).
 
New York State also offers a variety of other scholarships and grants. Some recognize academic excellence and some are designed to assist special groups of students. For example, there are special awards for Veterans and the dependents of victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks. Eligibility and amounts vary by award.
