VERIFICATION PROCESS 

When the federal government "selects" your Free Application for Student Federal Aid (FAFSA) for verification, the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships (OFAS) is required to collect the source documents you used to complete your FAFSA.   This process is called the "verification process."  

 

 

OFAS will send you an SCSU email indicating that you have been "selected" for verification and you will need to submit several required documents.   These documents are as follows:

  • 2010-2011 Verification Worksheet (dependent or independent)
  • Signed copy of your 2009 federal tax forms
  • Signed copy of your parents' 2009 federal tax forms (dependent students only)
  • Additional documentation may be required in certain verification cases.

Each of these required documents for verification must be printed from the Web Site, completed in its entirety, signed and mailed to our office within ten days of your notification.  OFAS will not mail these forms to you.   However, you may obtain any of the above verification worksheets at our office in the Wintergreen Building.
