A couple of things to keep in mind

1. You will only receive Financial Aid after your application has been completed and verified (if
   needed).
2. You'll earn financial aid as you attend your classes, hence withdrawing, skipping, dropping, not attending or failing courses will adversely affect your eligibility.
3. Financial Aid money will be applied to your account in the order in which it is received. First, it is applied to cover your balance and any remaining will be mailed to you or deposited into your bank account if you sign up for a direct deposit.
4. TAP (Tuition Assistant Program) is regulated and verified by New York State, hence problems regarding TAP are better resolved by using their website: www.hesc.com
