Last year, if you filed the Master Promissory Note (MPN), you don’t have to submit another MPN.
  2. New York State Residents Only
    Students can apply for a grant from the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) by filling out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).They will mail the student an Express TAP Application (ETA), which he or she must complete, sign, and return to New York State Higher Education Service Corporation.
  3. Other Information We Request
    A financial aid counselor may ask for additional information when the student’s application is reviewed. It is important to respond quickly. Aid cannot be finalized until we receive the requested information.
  4. Apply Early

Call us with questions at 718.636.3599 or email us at sfs@pratt.edu. Filing deadline is October 1. Filing after this deadline may jeopardize eligibility for Pratt scholarships and grants.
