Verification

Verification is a process mandated by the U.S. Department of Education to confirm the accuracy of the information provided on the FAFSA. Students who are selected for verification will be required to provide certain documents to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid before their financial aid application can be processed. Examples of some documents that may be requested include:

• Income Tax Transcript ordered from the Internal Revenue Service

• Household Size Verification Form

Other documents may be requested as needed in order to process your financial aid application. To determine if you need to submit additional documents to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid, please log in to Owl Express, Click on Financial Aid and then View Requirements and Submit Documents and select the correct award year. You will have the ability to upload your documents in a secure portal directly to your student’s file.

Georgia Scholarship/Grant Application (GSFAPPS)

• KSU's Priority Deadline for GSFAPPS completion is March 1.

Once the student's application has been received, the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid may ask for additional documents.
