Assemblyman Scott Gray from Watertown has announced the availability of financial aid opportunities and resources for students and families seeking higher education assistance. Among these is a new application pathway for New York State financial aid.
Gray emphasized the importance of accessible education, stating, “We want every student to have a fair shot at higher education.” He encouraged families to explore the available opportunities and utilize the resources provided.
The New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) has introduced a new application path aimed at eligible students who are U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens. This initiative caters to those wishing to apply for New York State financial aid, such as the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), but who have privacy concerns about submitting personal information via FAFSA.
This announcement highlights current grants and scholarships that are open for application. It also includes resources and tools designed for students, families, counselors, and financial aid professionals.
