Verification
What is Verification, and What Does it Mean to Me as a Student Waiting to Receive Financial Aid?
Verification - Is a process in which any financial aid applicants may be selected to turn in documentation verifying the information that was reported on their Free Application for Federal Student Aid form (FAFSA) to their financial aid office. The Federal Processor will notify the student by a statement on their Student Aid Report (SAR), and the financial aid office the student listed on their FAFSA form. Financial Aid will not be disbursed while student is under verification.
Documentation—once the financial aid office is notified that the student has been selected for verification, the school will notify the student and list the types of documentation the student will need to submit to the financial aid office—do not submit any documentation to the Federal Processor (FAFSA).
If I have already submitted documentation, why do I have to submit more information?
During the process of verification, there may be inconsistencies that may appear, to clarify; new or additional information may be required. It is important to submit requested documentation immediately.
What does verification mean to me as a parent?
Along with student information, parent(s) may be asked to submit documentation to continue processing their son or daughters financial aid. Documentation may include but is not limited to copies of federal tax returns, W2's, Social Security year end statements, or Friend of the Court year end statements. This information is necessary to continue processing.
