The last day to apply for your students to apply for Aid for Part-time Study (APTS) grants for the Spring 2012 semester is Friday, January 27, 2012.
The APTS program is a grant program financed by New York state that provides assistance for eligible part-time students enrolled in approved undergraduate studies. Awards at Monroe Community College range from $100 to $500 per year for part-time enrollment. An APTS award cannot exceed tuition charges.
HOW TO APPLY:
To apply, students must complete an APTS application and submit it along with a copy of their prior year NYS Tax Return to the Monroe Community College Financial Aid Office. Dependent students must also include a copy of their parents’ prior year NYS Tax Return.
APTS Applications can be downloaded at https://www.monroecc.edu/depts/finaid/apts.htm.
The student should complete the application, and return it to the college for processing as early as possible, as funds are limited.
ELIGIBILITY:
To be considered for an APTS award, students must:
1. Enroll part-time (3 - 11 Credit Hours) as matriculated students in approved undergraduate degree programs or registered certificate programs at Monroe Community College.
2. Meet the program income limits.
