Answer 1

Okay, if you are hoping for an answer, you're going to have to help out a little more here.

I tried to figure out what OCST is. Let's see what I got:

Office of Commercial Space Transportation

Office of Cable Signal Theft

Ohio Center for Substitute Teachers

Oregon City Swim Team

None of those look too promising.

I was able to figure out that TAP is New York State's Tuition Assistance Program. According to the website of the organization that oversees this program, The New York State Higher Education Services Corporation, there is a whole procedure you have to go through to apply for TAP assistance. It starts with the FAFSA, but there is another supplementary application form, which is available on their website - here: http://www.hesc.com/content.nsf/SFC/3/Ap...

If you have already applied, the website says that you can view the status of your application by going to the online "Student Account" that you established with the HESC. That's here: https://web.hesc.org/hescpub/main?target...

If you haven't completed the supplementary TAP application, you're not going to be awarded TAP funds.

As for OCST - good luck with that!

I hope this helped.
