Prohibits awarding TAP grants to those enrolled at for-profit universities
Bill S 1836 would prohibit New York's Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) from providing financial aid to students enrolled at for-profit colleges. It amends education law to explicitly exclude for-profit institutions from TAP eligibility, adding a new restriction to existing rules. This change directly affects students attending for-profit colleges who would no longer qualify for state tuition aid through TAP. The bill does not alter other TAP eligibility requirements, such as income limits or aid duplication rules. The policy change aims to redirect state financial aid toward public and nonprofit educational institutions.
