The federal government may ask Sinclair to verify the accuracy of the students' FAFSA application. If students are selected for verification, they will receive a letter from the college, asking for documentation to support the information reported on the FAFSA application. Follow these steps:
1. Gather all paperwork or documentation that the verification letter requests. It may include:
-
Student Federal Tax Return and/or W2
-
Parent Federal Tax Return and/or W2
-
Verification of untaxed income such as child support or disability
-
Proof of the number of family members in the household
-
Additional documentation as requested
2. Submit all requested information to the Financial Aid & Scholarships office, Building 10, Room 10343.
3. Sometimes students will be asked for additional documentation after submitting preliminary documents. Students should submit any additional documents as quickly as possible.
Note: Sinclair will not be able to award any federal financial aid as well as some state and institutional aid until all requested information has been submitted to the college and verified by the Financial Aid & Scholarships office.
