Most state agencies distribute state aid the same way that federal aid is distributed; if you are eligible for it, you will receive it as long as you attend college in-state. You don’t get it if you leave your state.

For example for NYS aid, you can only put in one NYS school. You will update it once you select a school. If you are eligible for a STEM incentive scholarship, the NYS aid (TAP) is deducted from the scholarship because the STEM incentive can only be used for tuition and TAP can only be used for tuition and both come from the same source - HESC.
