Yes, TAP (this is the name of NY states educational grant program, your state would have a different name) and PELL (Federal educational grant program) are state and federal grants given by the government to students with certain incomes. The lower income you have the more state and federal aid you qualify for. You do not have to pay it back but there are certain requirements to be eligable. You need to be a citizen or legal resident of the US, you have to be enrolled in an accredited college/university/school (in most cases full time), you need to keep your grades up (passing), and you need to fall within the income guidelines. If you live with your parents or gardian (someone who supports you), their income is taken into consideration.

The best place to start is to talk to your schools financial aid office, it has to be an accredited school. I’m assuming that if you are unaware of these grant programs that you are not attending an accredited school. If it’s not, I’d suggest to changing schools. Most accredited schools now have online choices if needed. Most colleges and universities are accredited. Regardless of what state you live in, you can apply for these grants with the FASFA application, which is available online or at your nearest college campus.

Here’s the website to learn more and apply:

Additionally, on the application they ask if you are interested in student loans also. My advice is to check “no”. If you decide to apply for stuent loans later, you’ll be able too. Also, if you live on your own, do not include your parents income. If you do live with them, or they support you, their income has to be included on the application.

Lastly, don’t be fooled/scammed by other websites that offer financial aid. FASFA is what you want to look into.

Good luck to you!
