Approximately one-third of FAFSA applications are selected for verification each year. The Financial Aid program is a government funded project and students who apply for aid are selected at random to verify the information submitted on their application. Being selected for FAFSA verification does not mean a student won’t be awarded federal aid, it means the student will need to prove the information submitted during the application process is correct.

The government requires all colleges and universities to provide proof FAFSA application. The most requested information is the number of people in your house and number in college, supplemental nutrition assistance, child support and high school completion status. This extra step ensures eligible students receive the appropriate aid award. If a student is a dependent student, they are considered a dependent student and need to provide their parents tax transcripts also.
