I was selected for verification, what is the next step?
Being selected for verification simply means we need to collect some additional information to confirm that what was reported on the FAFSA has been accurately reported. A student will be notified from their financial aid counselor if they have been selected and will be instructed on what other information needs to be submitted for review.
