TAP

Paying for College
1

Do I need to be enrolled in a school before I apply for the Tuition Assistance Program?

I am not an expert, but I think listing a NYS school on FAFSA is important. I don’t know if you have to fill out a state grant aid form as well.

@sybbie719 can you help the OP?

Are you asking about NY’s TAP?

If you and your parents are. NYS residents, and you are eligible for TAP, you can only use it at NYS schools. You must have one NYS school on your FAFSA and you must apply for TAP (you can always change the school on TAP when you know where you are finally attending ).

And you don’t have to wait until you know which school you are attending to file FAFSA, you can file it now and list any school you are applying (or planning on applying) to.

Thank you everyone!
