The New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) helps eligible New York residents pay tuition at approved schools in New York State. Depending on the academic year in which you begin study, an annual TAP award can be up to the amount of tuition (if eligible). Because TAP is a grant, it does not have to be paid back.
