About CUNY FAST
The City University of New York launched the CUNY Financial Aid Support Team in April 2024 to support students and families in accessing their financial aid given the challenges and setbacks posed by the delayed rollout of the new Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). With funding from the Carroll and Milton Petrie Foundation, CUNY is partnering with the New York City Public Schools (NYCPS), HESC, SUNY and the New York and Queens public library systems to reach 100,000 high school seniors and current CUNY students, helping them complete the FAFSA, TAP and NYS Dream Act applications.
The CUNY Financial Aid Support Team provides students with support to complete the FAFSA, TAP and NYS Dream Act applications through:
1-1 texting with a FAST Coach
1-1 support at a FAST Event
