HESC is New York State’s student financial aid agency and a national leader in providing need-based grant and scholarship award money to college-going students. At HESC’s core are programs like the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), numerous state scholarships, federal college access grants, and a highly successful College Savings program. HESC puts college within the reach of hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers each year through programs like these and through the guidance it provides to students, families, and counselors.
Each year, HESC helps nearly 300,000 students achieve their college dreams by providing hundreds of millions of dollars in grants, scholarship, and loan forgiveness benefits.
Beginning in 2022-23 and thereafter, HESC’s financial statements will be incorporated with New York State’s audited financials.
