Part Time TAP-Tuition Assistance Program
Part Time TAP (Tuition Assistance Program)
This New York State tuition grant program is available to part time matriculated students who have been legal residents of New York State for at least one year. Students must be enrolled for 3 to 11 credits. Students also must maintain a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better. Awards, which range from $250 to the cost of tuition per semester, vary according to financial ability and may be used solely to pay the cost of tuition. Applicants applying as independent students must meet special requirements. Awards are granted for the equivalent of only eight full-time semesters, however, SEEK students are eligible for the equivalent of ten full-time semesters.
TAP requires a student to be in good academic standing each semester and also to be registered for classes required for their program of study. Students are advised to use the DegreeWorks degree audit program and/or FACTS to assist in identifying the required classes needed to complete their program of study.
