Veterans who will be attending York College are advised to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

It is the basic requirement for federal aid consideration. This can be done online at www.fafsa.gov. New York State residents should also complete a Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) application for state aid assistance. The application is available at www.hesc.ny.gov.
