If you don’t have access to a printer, go to your local library or contact your college’s Rising Scholars program manager.
5. Fill in the rest of the form
Fill out the rest of your personal info in the “Applicant Information” section. Make sure that your address is filled in correctly. The DOJ will mail you a copy of your RAP sheet.

Fees and hours will vary from site to site. Some sites require appointments, other require walk-ins. Call the site beforehand to learn about hours of operations and costs.
Talk to your college’s Rising Scholars program manager to see if you can get a reimbursement for any costs. TAP is not responsible for any payments.
You must bring a driver’s license or other form of ID with you. Acceptable forms of ID can be found here.
