2020–2021 Verification Worksheet
Independent Student
Your 2020–2021 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 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 information may
need to be corrected. You 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.
