Bill > A07323

This bill amends the New York Education Law to increase the maximum time limits for the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) awards. Specifically, it increases the maximum number of academic years of study for undergraduate students from four to six years (or from five to seven years if the program normally requires five years). For students enrolled in eligible two-year programs, the maximum is increased from three to four academic years. The bill provides additional flexibility for students who must transfer to another institution due to the permanent closure of their previous college. The changes in this bill aim to extend the duration of TAP awards to allow students more time to complete their undergraduate studies.
