“You need to submit more documentation to have your application approved.”
Verification means the financial aid office needs to confirm information on your TASFA. It’s common and doesn’t mean you’re ineligible — it just means they need extra paperwork (examples: signed tax returns or tax transcripts, W‑2s, proof of income, household size/parent info, or proof of identity/residency). Check the school’s message or portal for the exact list, gather the requested documents, and submit them to the financial aid office ASAP. If anything is unclear, call or email the financial aid office for help.
