I thought that for some state grants, it was required to have a school from that state listed first. Is this no longer the case, or was it never the case?

I know for NYS aid it does not matter, it just pulls the first NYS school, whether you have it listed as number 1 or number 10 (you can only put in one NYS school for TAP, you just change the school when you make your final decision once you choose your school because if you are eligible for NYS aid, it is the same amount of money whether is private of public school in NYS with a max of $5165.
