State: Manhattanville should give back funds

December

A state audit of Manhattanville College’s records and procedures used in administering the Tuition Assistance Program for the 2003-04 through 2005-06 academic years found that the college was overpaid $27,263.

It is now recommended that Manhattanville repay that amount to the Higher Education Services Corporation, which administers the TAP grants, because school officials incorrectly certified 13 students as eligible for the awards.

TAP is an entitlement program designed to provide tuition aid to eligible full-time students.

Reasons for the disallowances include students not meeting full-time requirements, students not being in good academic standing and TAP awards not being fully credited to students’ accounts, according to the state report.
