Federal Verification Forms
These forms may be required in order for the Office of Financial Aid at Dickinson College to complete the federal verification process.
Verification is the process under which an applicant's FAFSA information is selected by the Department of Education or the institution (college) to ensure the information is correct.
Dependent Verification Worksheet
Your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) was selected by the Department of Education for review in a process called Verification. Federal law requires the Office of Financial Aid to confirm the information you and your parents reported on your FAFSA before awarding federal student aid. To verify that you provided correct information, we will compare your FAFSA with the information on this worksheet and any other required documents. We may ask for additional information. If there are differences, your FAFSA may need to be corrected.
You and at least one parent must complete and sign this worksheet, attach any required documents, and submit the materials to the Office of Financial Aid. If you have questions about Verification, contact our office as soon as possible so your financial aid will not be delayed.
