Embedded Files
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is what students use to apply for loans, grants, and work-study. Work-study are jobs that are exclusive to students who receive work-study and are meant to help students earn money to pay for college. Once you file FAFSA, your college will use your FAFSA to determine your federal aid eligibility. Many colleges use FAFSA to determine how much aid they will provide their students.

Need Help w/ Verification?
Verification is when a school selects a student to verify that they put the correct information when filling out the FAFSA. If selected, the school will usually require you to fill out a form and hand in documentation (ex: tax transcript from the IRS or your parent’s 1040 and/or a “non-filing transcript” for yourself).
How to know if you were selected:
Check your email
Check your college’s portal holds and to-do list
Check your SAR (Student Aid Report) on FAFSA
If you don't complete verification, you will have holds and/or to-dos and you might not receive financial aid.
