Visit the Prepare What You Need page for more information on the documentation needed to complete the FAFSA.
o NYS Tuition Assistance Program (TAP): To request payment of the TAP award each year, students must complete the NYS Student Aid Payment Application, which is linked directly from the FAFSA.
• Students applying through the New York State DREAM Act can apply through their DREAM Act account.
• Text Alerts for Financial Aid: Sign up to receive texts from the Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) with key information about financial aid, important deadline dates, and resources to help students on their path to higher education.
• Need assistance completing the FAFSA or TAP? Check HESC’s schedule of events for one-on-one help completing the applications.
