If you are a parent of a Tonawanda Senior who is planning to attend college in September, then it is time for you to file the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form.
The form is available at www.studentaid.ed.gov. Both parent and student will also need a FAFSA ID which you can get at the same website.
Once your colleges receive the FAFSA information they can process a financial aid award letter for your student.
After completing the FAFSA, you must link to the New York State Tuition Assistance Program to apply for TAP (NYS grant money). You can also access the TAP application at www.hesc.ny.gov.
If you have questions, contact your school counselor at 716-694-7673 or call the financial aid office at one of the schools your student is considering.
