Full-time undergraduate students who are residents of New York State may also apply for the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). This is a grant program, which means you don’t have to pay it back.

How it works:

After you submit the FAFSA, you will be provided with a link to your online TAP application. Once you complete your online TAP application and after the state higher education agency receives your FAFSA data, you will be sent an award certificate.

If you already have a tap application on file and need to add MCNY’s school code, please follow this link. MCNY’s TAP code is: 1099
