Financial Aid
The financial aid reflected on your bill is either authorized or memoed for the current semester. Although the financial aid listed has been used to reduce the current amount due, all financial aid is subject to change in order to comply with Federal and State financial aid regulations.
TAP Awards
New York State Residents Only
If TAP is listed on your bill, it may be an estimate based on the information you submitted on your 2022-2023 FAFSA. If the amount differs from the amount listed on the award certificate received from the NYS Higher Education Services Corporation, adjust the amount on the bill, and submit a copy of the award certificate with the bottom portion of the bill and your payment.
Receiving an award certificate from the NYS Higher Education Services Corporation does not necessarily guarantee the remittance of funds to the College. Students who receive the award must be certified by the College to be full-time, matriculated, and in good academic standing.

If your loan cannot be disbursed through Electronic Funds Transfer, the student loan check will be mailed directly to the College. Student Financial Services will notify you in writing when your check is received.
Please note: The amount credited may be less than borrowed amount due to fees deducted by the lender.
