| Abstract | In 1994, the New York State Office of the Comptroller performed an audit of Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) and Supplemental Tuition Assistance Program (STAP) awards at Katharine Gibbs School, a two-year secretarial and business education institution. TAP, the largest student grant and scholarship program administered by the Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC), is designed to provide tuition aid to full-time students enrolled in approved programs. STAP is a special program providing up to one additional year of aid for educationally disadvantaged undergraduate students. According to HESC's records, the School certified 1,135 students for 3,237 TAP and STAP awards totaling $3,530,370 from 1990-91 through 1992-93. Out of a statistical sample of 175 of these awards, 51 were disallowed because students were not in approved programs, not in good academic standing, not matriculated, not in full-time attendance, or not meeting residency or graduation requirements. An additional 10 awards were disallowed from outside the sample audit period. As a result, it was determined that the School was overpaid $813,143 because school officials certified ineligible students for TAP awards. The auditors recommended that HESC recover the $813,143 plus interest and ensure that the School adequately maintains necessary records. In addition, 75 of 163 transcripts requested by the auditors did not exist, 92 transcripts contained errors, 39 incorrectly scored entrance examinations were discovered, and 15 students were found to have graduated without meeting 1 or more of the School's published graduation requirements.
