Your 2020-2021 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) was selected for review in a process called verification. Federal guidelines
dictate that, before awarding federal student aid, we may ask you to confirm the information reported on your FAFSA. To verify that you
provided correct information, we will compare your FAFSA with the information on this institutional verification document and with any
other required documents. If there are differences, your FAFSA may be corrected. The student and the parent whose information was
reported on the FAFSA (if dependent) must complete and sign this form, attach any required documents, and submit the information to the
Financial Aid Office (FAO). If you have questions, please contact the FAO promptly to avoid delays in the processing of your financial aid.
