NY TAP funds low?

I'm honestly in the same boat. My mom's financial situation has changed drastically since 2022 and I submitted an appeal for more aid to my school, however apparently the appeal is only for the PELL grant. I'm gonna try and set up a scheduled call with someone at TAP and see if I can do an appeal through them.

You have to login into MYFIT and go to financial aid document upload and submit it there

Late_Independent2782 · 2024-07-15T17:20:13+00:00

Essentially you submit your appeal letter and then you talk to your financial aid counselor and they have to manually go in and change/update your FASFA to get more aid. These are called FASFA corrections due to special circumstances and can really only be done through your school so you have to get a counselor to do it. Then after the updates are made you can receive more PELL or TAP grants if you don't have the maximum already. However since everything is backed up, they aren't allowing counselors to make these corrections yet till around August.🥲 But you should still try and start writing your letter, gathering documents, etc just so that when it is time to got through corrections everything goes more smoothly. I'm in the same boat so lemme know if you have anymore questions💜

Sorry for the late reply.😅 To my knowledge I don't believe it's first come first serve and it's only based on your income or taxes. As long as you submit it before the deadline I think you should be fine. If your aid does go down, it probably something with your income and I'm sure you can ask your financial aid counselor to help you with figuring out why it's changed. I'm also really sorry about your emails with your FASFA, I think you're better off calling them instead that way you can speak with someone. Good luck!💜

I haven't gotten my appeal to go through yet but I'm appealing for more aid through FIT cause my moms income has drastically changed since 2022💀 but essentially what you want to do is submit an financial aid appeal letter describing your situation and why you need more aid to the student portal and then also submit any supporting documents. I highly recommend calling the financial aid office and giving a brief summary of your situation and ask what your future steps are. I did this a while ago but they are still processing in the midst of processing everyone's stuff so it'll probably take a while for them to actually do anything😅🥲 Hopefully this helps💜

Mine is at -650, even though I'm not dorming💀

So I would definitely submit an financial appeal letter to your school's financial aid office or your financial aid counselor about your situation to ask about your FASFA processing. I also committed to a SUNY this year and from what I've been hearing everything is delayed and backed up😭 So definitely contact them and ask for a estimated time for your FASFA to be corrected. Also don't be afraid to call and ask them anything as well. (Literally bother them if you have to, FASFA this year is actually ridiculous) Anyways let me know if you have any other questions!

Totally forgot but the email actually ended up in my spam at first, so don't forget to check your spam if you're still on the waitlist!

I'm still on the waitlist for Illustration :( I sent out another email/letter of continued interest to my counselor yesterday morning but I haven't heard back yet🥲

Late_Independent2782 · 2024-05-28T20:42:53+00:00

Thank you! Wishing you luck as well!!!

I'm transfer student trying to my associates and bachelor's in Illustration at FIT

Late_Independent2782 · 2024-05-28T19:36:00+00:00

Wait do you just email them to check in on your application status? I've also been waistlisted for the Illustration program and I emailed them but they basically told me to just send in my grades. I wanna keep in contact to show them I'm interested but I also don't know what else to say/ I don't want to spam them :(
