Dependent Student - Tracking Group V

Your 2014–2015 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) was selected for review in a process called verification. The law says that
before awarding Federal Student Aid, we may ask you to confirm the information you and your parents reported on your FAFSA. To verify that
you provided correct information the financial aid administrator at your school will compare your FAFSA with the information on this
worksheet and with any other required documents. If there are differences, your FAFSA inf
ormation may need to be corrected. You and
at least one parent must complete and sign this worksheet, attach any required documents, and submit the form and other required
documents to the financial aid administrator at your school. Your school may ask for additional information. If you have questions about
verification, contact your financial aid administrator as soon as possible so that your financial aid will not be delayed.
