Verification is a process our office uses to ensure student's FAFSA information is accurate.
Students who are eligible for grants and students selected for audit purposes will receive a Verification request email. These students must provide our office with certain documentation to show that the application information is correct. Financial Aid cannot be awarded until Verification is complete.
