Jacob, high school student

“Oh man, I sent in my TASFA, but it is saying I have been selected for verification! What does that mean?”

How should you respond to Jacob?


You need to submit more documentation to have your application approved.

You’re not eligible because you don’t meet the Texas residency requirements.

You need to fill out a different financial aid application.

Being "selected for verification" means the college must confirm some of the information on your TASFA. It doesn’t mean you’re ineligible or that you need a different form. Check your college’s financial aid portal or email for a list of required documents (examples: income statements or pay stubs, tax transcripts if applicable, proof of household size, identity/residency documents) and the deadline, and turn them in or contact the financial aid office if anything is unclear.
