Whether you're a current APC student, graduate or faculty member, you understand the importance of TAP when it comes to paying for college. For many APC students it makes the difference between being able to afford college or not going to college at all. This year’s proposed New York State Budget does not include proposals that would reform the TAP program to help more students.

We need your help! If more students are going to be able to achieve the dream of a college education, we need to let our elected officials know how important the TAP program is.

Starting on Monday, February 4, you will have an opportunity to email your legislators in Albany and ask them to support strengthening the TAP program so it will:

- Make part-time TAP available to all students
- Make TAP Available to Fiscally Needy Students who are Self-Supporting
- Increase the Maximum TAP Award

You will be able to send a personal letter or an email to your legislator to let them know how you feel about TAP and why it is important to you. As soon as everything is ready to go, we’ll put instructions on the college website and put posters around campus to let you know how to do it.

Get active in this election year and help us TAP the Future!
