Recruitment Update: The Fall 2025 application is open. Students are admitted on a first-come first serve basis for a limited number of slots. Apply here.

*All students (except those who are unable to apply due to immigration status) must complete both FAFSA and TAP applications. We encourage those who do not meet eligibility requirements for federal and state aid to check eligibility and apply for funds through the New York State Dream Act.
