Students who are receiving a tuition scholarship and are a New York
State Resident must file for tap or submit an excess income form to
the Office of Student Accounts.  In filing for tap, both a "FAFSA" form
and a tap form must be completed for the tap to be processed through
NYS Higher Education Services in Albany.  The tuition scholarship is
then processed for the difference between the tap amount and the tuition.
If the student does not file for the tap award an assumed amount is
deducted and the tuition scholarship will automatically process for 
the difference between the assumed amount and the tuition.  The student
is liable for the assumed amount until the tap award is received or
an excess income form is on file.</body></html>
