TAP question

Paying for College
1

We filled out FASFA but when we tried to click on the link to TAP, the computer froze. Now I have to apply but see only one school listed. Why is that? Also, what happens if my daughter doesn’t end up going to that school and she’s awarded TAP?

One more question…do you put both parents down in the TAP form or just custodial parent?

Thanks…this is my first time so it’s all new to me

If you just filed the FAFSA, you will have to wait approximately 3 days in order to link it to the tap.

IIRC, TAP only asks about custodial parent

At least one NYS school has to be listed on the FAFSA. You can change the school later (to another NYS school).
