How to Apply for Summer Financial Aid


To apply for all federal and state aid programs, students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In addition, NYS requires a separate application to be filed for the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). This can be done online after the student has filed their FAFSA, at www.tapweb.org <https://www.tapweb.org/> .

For financial aid purposes, the summer term begins the new academic year and it is important for students to file the correct FAFSA for the appropriate academic year.

Please be aware that the financial aid application process can be lengthy and additional information may be required from students and parents. Applicants are encouraged to file as soon as possible after January 1st. The quickest way to file your FAFSA is via "FAFSA on the Web" at www.fafsa.ed.gov <https://www.fafsa.ed.gov/> . Guidelines for the application process can be found in the Applying <https://www.monroecc.edu/depts/finaid/apply.htm>  section of this website
