2021-22 Verification Worksheet
Independent Students
Your financial aid application was selected for review in a process called "Verification." In this process, DU will be comparing
your information from your (and your spouse’s, if you are married) 2019 Federal tax information. Federal regulations require
us to review this information before awarding federal aid. If there are differences between your application information and
your financial documents, we may need to make corrections electronically.
Please complete ALL sections of this worksheet, attach requested documentation as appropriate, sign and return to
Financial Aid. Incomplete worksheets will not be processed, and verification cannot be completed until all requested
documents are received and reviewed.
Please contact us at 303-871-4020 or finaid@du.edu if you have questions while completing this form.
