FAFSA Code: 002837 | TAP Code: 1010
Apply for NYS TAP
Undergraduate residents of New York State should complete a NYS Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) application after completing the FAFSA application to determine if you are eligible for a TAP Grant.
How to Apply
The TAP application uses NY State Tax Return information, not Federal Tax Return information.
The application is on the Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) website.
Your TAP application will be sent to only one school. If you listed several schools on your FAFSA, your application will be sent to the school that you listed first. If you did not list UB first on your FAFSA, change your TAP school code directly on the HESC website.
UB's TAP School Code is: SUNY Buffalo - 1010
When your TAP application has been processed, the HESC will notify you of your eligibility by email. If you listed UB on your TAP application, we will also be notified of your eligibility. You can track the status of your application on the HESC website.
