Touro Grants are awarded each year on the basis of financial need to qualified
entering students and to continuing students in good academic standing.
Applicants should file a Touro financial aid application and a FAFSA form,
along with copies of their previous year's tax return. Funds are limited, so
early application is advised. Grants vary, according to need, from $1,000 to
$2,000 per year and do not have to be repaid after graduation.

New York State residents may be eligible for New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) grants ranging from
