2004-2005 Verification Worksheet for Federal Student Aid

Your application was selected for a review in a process called “Verification”. In this process, the school will be comparing information from your application with signed copies of your and your spouse/ parent(s)’ 2003 Federal tax forms, or other financial documents which we will retain in your permanent record. The school must review the requested information, under the financial aid program rules (CFR Title 34, Part 668) before awarding Federal Aid. If there are differences between your application information and your financial documents, you may need to send in corrections on your Student Aid Report (SAR), or your school may send corrections electronically, to have your information processed. Try to complete verification as soon as possible, so that your financial aid won’t be delayed. Your financial aid administrator will help you.
