Your application for federal financial aid was selected for review in a process called ‘Verification’. In this
process, we will be comparing information from your FAFSA application with this document. The law says we
must ask you for this information before awarding financial aid. If there are differences between your
application information and verification documents submitted, corrections will be made to your application and
your information will be reprocessed.
You must complete and sign this worksheet. We cannot continue processing your financial aid application until
verification has been completed.
Complete verification as soon as possible to avoid any delays with your financial aid. Contact the Financial Aid
Office at (808) 932-7449 if you need assistance.
