What happened
Applications for state and federal financial aid for the 2027-28 academic year are open for New York students. To be considered for funding, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and apply for the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). Submitting the FAFSA allows students to be considered for grants, scholarships, work-study funds, and loans.
