Verification is the confirmation through documentation that the information provided on your FAFSA is correct.
The federal government requires colleges and universities to verify or confirm the data reported by students and their parent(s) (if student is a dependent) on the FAFSA. The verification process ensures that eligible students receive all the financial aid to which they are entitled and prevents ineligible students from receiving financial aid to which they are not entitled.
How will I know if I am selected for verification?

You may be selected for verification either by the federal processor or by Hawkeye's 金融援助 office. If you are selected for verification by the federal processor, there will be an asterisk (*) next to your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) on your 学生 Aid Report.

You may be selected for verification either by the federal processor or by Hawkeye's 金融援助 office.

Why was I selected for verification?
Most FAFSA's that are selected for verification are chosen randomly. 然而, if you make changes to your FAFSA information, you may be selected for verification even if you were not selected on your initial application.
If I am selected for verification, am I required to send documentation?
No, you are not required to send documentation, but if you would like to receive state or federal funding, you must complete the verification process.
