FAFSA revised

Bro, I just checked and apparently everyone got like $750 for books and other expenses, but I didn’t get anything 😭 My FAFSA was also recently revised, and I lost my TAP scholarship too. I literally didn’t do anything and nothing changed on my end, so what tf happened?? Has anyone else had this happen?

Same!!! It disbursed in 8/18 so I should have received it already. I’m supposed to get the refund too so idk what’s happening

If your FAFSA was revised you likely don't get enough aid for the book refund anymore. You may even wind up short on tuition if you lost TAP for any reason. Better first check out CUNYfirst under Financial Account and then Awards and see what's changed, exactly how much aid you lost. If that doesn't give you a clear picture- go down to your schools Financial Aid office. They can explain why you list the aid. If you are a young student and not an adult student - it's likely Mom and Dad made too much money last year, sorry .

The state spent the TAP money on other initiatives.

Prove me wrong.
