FAFSA Verification Forms

When a student files the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) the U.S. Department of Education may randomly select that application for a process called “verification”. This is noted in the Student Aid Report (SAR). The verification process requires Principia College to collect additional documents from the student and his/her family in order to verify the accuracy of the information provided on the FAFSA.
