We don't I already checked with them. Only Citizens, permanent residents, asylees, and refugees qualify for TAP. TAP pretty much uses FAFSA requirements, you qualify for FAFSA you qualify for TAP, you don't qualify for FAFSA you don't qualify for TAP.

it says : Other eligible noncitizen with an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94) from the Department of Homeland Security showing any one of the following designations: "Refugee," "Asylum Granted," "Indefinite Parole," "Humanitarian Parole," or "Cuban-Haitian Entrant"

isn't deferred action considered as humanitarian parole???
No. Humanitarian parole is something completely different relating to being let into the US without a visa. Examples of humanitarian parole would be letting in victims of a natural disaster abroad to US, or letting a sick mother of a permanent resident into US so her child can take care of her.

Deferred action is deferred action. It is NOT:
  • A visa
  • Temporary Protected Status
  • Parole

You are legally present in US with Deferred Action under 8 CFR 1.3 (a)(4)(vi) . However you do not hold any sort of an actual legal status.

If the question is:
Are you in US legally?
The answer is yes.
Do you hold a lawful / legal US status?
The answer is no.
