New York State TAP (Tuition Assistance Program) Grant *

        • You will receive a deduction on your e-bill for a TAP grant or a Academic
Scholarship of Excellence if Higher Education Services (HESC) in Albany
has sent the school proper notification of your award and you meet the academic
progress requirements of the State of New York.

FUNDED Graduate students who are recipients of a tuition scholarship cannot deduct a TAP Grant in addition to the tuition scholarship. Both the tuition scholarships and TAP awards are earmarked for tuition only. If a student receives both of these awards, the University is required to reduce the amount of one of these awards so that the sum of the two does not exceed the cost of tuition. We have listed the full amount of tuition cost as a scholarship and have NOT listed the TAP award. Students should complete a TAP application as it helps to stretch the tuition scholarship dollars. Any TAP received by a student enables the University to fund other graduate students.

   * Remember you must complete an application so that your TAP grant can be sent to Binghamton. Our state school code for graduates used in the application process is 5450. To check the status of your application on-line with Higher Education Services Corporation click here (HESC).
