Check Financial Aid Status Online for Additional Requirements

Most of the colleges will post your financial aid status online.  Be sure to check to see if your awards have been posted or especially if you need to submit more documentation--residency cards, passport copy, tax forms.  If you are asked to "verify" your information, this is extremely common.  You will print out the verification form from the college financial aid office website and fill it out.  Send in with signed copies of students and parents tax forms.  Delaying this documentation can delay and perhaps reduce your award.  So if asked, complete this verification immediately.
