A 5515 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits awarding TAP grants to those enrolled at for-profit universities

This bill prohibits New York State's Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) grants from being awarded to students enrolled at for-profit universities. It directly affects students attending for-profit institutions who would otherwise qualify for state tuition aid. The key provision amends education law to explicitly add that TAP awards cannot be made to anyone "matriculated at a for-profit institution." This creates a clear policy change, blocking state financial aid for these students while leaving other TAP eligibility rules unchanged.
