Welcome to the New York State Student Aid Payment Application! This online application process allows you to apply for New York State's Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). TAP is available to students attending a SUNY, CUNY or not-for-profit independent degree-granting colleges on a full or part-time basis.

You must submit a FAFSA application to receive payment for TAP. If you have not submitted a FAFSA, go to https://fafsa.gov.

Students who do not meet residency requirements may be eligible for TAP through the NYS DREAM Act.

Students already approved for other New York State scholarships should also complete the New York State Student Aid payment application to request payment.

A HESCPin account is required to apply. If you currently do not have one you will be required to create an account prior to completing your application.
