TAP (I assume OP means NYS FA) counts parent eligibility until age 35? I may not be remembering correctly, but I don’t think I had to use my parent’s income after age 21, although that might have been because I was in law school at that age. I always thought basic TAP required parent into till age 24, like federal aid. If age 35 is true, that changes what I have been telling my 25+ son about going back to school.
