Aid for Part-Time Study (APTS)

New York State residents who are enrolled for at least 3 credits but fewer than 12 credits each semester may apply for this state, campus-based grant program through the Financial Aid Office. The maximum award is $2,000 per academic year. The number and amount of each award is determined by each college, based upon its annual allocation which varies. To retain the award, a student must maintain satisfactory academic progress in addition to filing an application each year and meeting the eligibility criteria. Applications are available in the Financial Aid Office and must be returned along with copies of parent and student New York state tax returns.
