Tuition Assistance Program (TAP)

To qualify for the Tuition Assistance Program grant, graduate students must be legal residents of New York State for at least one year, be registered for a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester, and be enrolled in a program leading to a degree. The amount of the TAP award is based on the prior year New York Net Taxable family income. During Summer Session, students can be registered for a minimum of 6 credit hours distributed among all summer sessions to potentially qualify for TAP. Graduate assistants may be eligible for a full-time TAP award as long as they are registered for a minimum of 6 credit hours per semester. Students should note that TAP awards will not be refunded to graduate assistants whose tuition charges have been waived by SUNY Fredonia.
