Your 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.
