New York State Launches Applications for TAP for the 2024-2025 School Year: Financial Assistance for Higher Education

New York State has launched applications for the Tuition Assistance Programknown as TAP, for the 2024-2025 school year.

With this program, the state supports eligible residents to pay tuition at schools approved by the state. An annual TAP support can be up to $5,665and since it is a subsidy, it is not necessary to return it.

The program is also available for undocumented students who can apply for help through the New York State DREAM Act.

TAP is also available to students attending SUNY, CUNY, and an independent, nonprofit, degree-granting university on a part-time basis. To be eligible for part-time TAP, you must have been a first-time freshman in the 2006-07 academic year or later and maintain a “C” average.

“Over the last 50 years, TAP has been instrumental in help students from low-income families, first-generation college students, and other students achieve their academic aspirations. As we mark this important milestone, we look forward to continuing to support the next generation of New York students through this critical program,” said State Governor Kathy Hochul.

“New York State has long recognized the importance of investing in education and providing access to quality higher education opportunities,” Hochul added.
