I am eligible for the Excelsior Scholarship. I meed the requirements for every stipulation but in 2020, I will have exceeded the amount of times I can apply for PELL and TAP. I might run out of TAP sooner because the limit is 8 times and pell/fafsa is 12.
Can I still apply for the excelsior scholarship alone if I have exceeded the amount of times I can apply for Pell and TAP?
After run out i will have 1 and a half more years left of school that financial aid might not be able to cover. I am going to start saving now.
TAP and Excelsior are only good for 4 years of school (5 years if you are part of an opportunity program). If you have exhausted all your TAP, you will not be eligible for Excelsior, because you were not on track to complete your degree in 4 years
