After you apply you may be asked for additional documentation; if so, send documents promptly.

  • After you submit your FAFSA, the federal processor will send you a Federal Student Aid Report (SAR). The SAR indicates your expected family contribution, used to determine eligibility for aid.

  • If you provide your email address on your FAFSA, you will receive online SAR information as soon as 24 hours after your FAFSA is processed. If you do not receive it within ten days of mailing your FAFSA, contact the federal processor at 1-800-433-3243.
  • Your application may be selected for Verification. What is Verification?

    1. Verification is a process of confirming data supplied by the applicant and/or parents on your financial aid application.

    2. Each year about 30 percent of students' financial aid applications nationwide are chosen.

    3. If your application is selected for verification, you will receive a letter from us explaining what documents to provide. Do not submit documents unless we ask you to. Your aid cannot be disbursed until you have submitted all requested documents and your information has been checked.

  • You can use your federal PIN to make corrections to your FAFSA at FAFSA on the web.
