Your 2015-2016 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.
Until all forms/documents are received, your aid cannot be
processed. If you have questions about verification, contact your
financial aid administrator as soon as possible so that your
financial aid will not be delayed.
