The APTS award cannot exceed the actual amount of tuition charged. The maximum award is $1,000 per semester; minimum award is $100. Students who expect to enroll part-time should contact the Office of Financial Aid for an APTS application. Submit your application to the Office, along with a copy of your NYS Income Tax Return or your parents tax returns (if you are a dependent student).
