CERTIFICATION STATEMENTS
I have read and understand the Aid for Part-Time Study Application, Instructions and Eligibility Requirements. By
signing this form, I am stating that, to my knowledge, I have completed the process and meet all of the eligibility
requirements.
I understand that awards will be determined and confirmed in writing. This confirmation will occur no earlier than
the 10
th
week of classes each semester but could be later due to processing time.
I understand that if I owe a balance on my tuition, my APTS award will pay the amount due to Hudson Valley
Community College. If am due a refund, it will be issued to me within 45 day after I am notified in writing of my award.
I understand that if I have applied for APTS for the Fall 2019 semester, my application will automatically be reviewed
for the Spring 2020 semester.
I understand that I may not receive more than one state grant in any given semester (i.e. TAP, Part-Time TAP OR
APTS). I confirm that this application for APTS authorizes Hudson Valley Community College to decertify any other
award I may qualify to receive.
I understand that the total amount of financial aid assistance (i.e. grants, scholarships, student loans, tuition
assistance) I receive cannot exceed my Cost of Attendance (COA). I will consult with the Financial Aid Office before
accepting this award to ensure I fully understand the impact it may have on my financial aid package.
I understand that if I am awarded APTS it will be factored in to my COA and that the Financial Aid Office may have to
adjust other forms of financial aid on my account to avoid over-awarding me.
If I choose to rescind my APTS application, I will notify the Financial Aid Office in writing before the end of the term.
