Please help. It looks like I had to apply separately for the NYS Excelsior scholarship. The deadline was 3/7 according to online for fall 22. Help!
I’m not sure what kind of help you are looking for. The deadline was March 7, so you can’t apply for it now. You can get a job for the summer to help with the costs and you can apply next month for 2023-2024.

@sybbie719 can you please explain the missed deadline ramifications…and offer any other suggestions. Like if this student was excelsior eligible…what about TAP?
Breathe,
The Excelsior application for the school year 2022-2023 is opening in May.
Do not miss the deadline.
Unlike TAP and Pell which are entitlements, Excelsior is not an entitlement. If you miss the deadline, you will not get the money or you will have to come up with the money yourself for fall 2022.
Remember that Excelsior is the last payer and will be applied after any TAP and Pell that you are entitled to. If you are eligible for TAP and PELL and they cover your tuition, you will not get Excelsior.

@Lee_Lee please read the reply from @sybbie719 right above this one!
March 7 was the deadline for Spring 2022. Is this scholarship first come, first serve and therefore recommended to apply as soon as available? March 7 was well into the Spring 2022 semester.
