The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is a federal grant awarded by the college to matriculated undergraduate students with exceptional need. It is a campus-based program and the awards may range from $100 to $4,000 per year, depending on funding. A student may receive FSEOG for the period required to complete a first baccalaureate degree.
The New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) helps eligible New York residents pay tuition at approved schools in New York State. Depending on the academic year in which you begin study, an annual TAP award can be up to $5,165. Because TAP is a grant, it does not have to be paid back. Taxable income must be below a certain threshold to be eligible for TAP grants. http://www.hesc.ny.gov/pay-for-college/financial-aid/types-of-financial-aid/grants/tap-eligibility.html
EOP is a grant program for New York State residents who are admitted to the college through the Educational Opportunity Program at the beginning of their postsecondary study. Students must be full-time matriculated undergraduates. Awards are based on need and may range up to $2,800 per year. http://www.newpaltz.edu/admissions/eop.html
