Your application for federal financial aid was selected for review in a process called “Verification.” In the process, we will be
comparing information from your FAFSA application with your Federal tax information, W-2 forms and/or other financial
documents. The law says we must ask you for this information before awarding financial aid. If there are differences between your
application information and your financial documents, corrections will be made to your application and your information will be
reprocessed.
You must complete and sign this worksheet and submit it along with any documents requested below. We cannot continue
processing your financial aid application until verification has been completed.
You should complete verification as soon as possible so that your financial aid won’t be delayed. Contact the Financial Aid Office at
(808) 932-7449 if you need assistance.
