Students may walk-in or schedule an appointment by calling 718-482-7218 to complete their FAFSA and TAP on the web. Staff will be available to answer your questions.

The Student Financial Services provides you assistance with FAFSA and TAP online applications, along with additional information, financial aid counseling, and assistance in completing your forms. The office conducts regular daily workshops to help you with your financial aid applications and operates a web lab to allow you to file your FAFSA and TAP on the web.
You can also find the answers to your questions about completing the FAFSA at the following US Department of Education website: http://www.ed.gov/studentaid/apply.html or e-mail FederalStudentAidFAFSA@cpsemail.ed.gov

FAFSA on the web is immediate. In contrast, the response to a paper application takes 6-8 weeks. When you file your FAFSA on the Web, you will be able to apply for TAP on the Web as well.
