A student may be required to complete one
or more online processes before a financial aid offer is officially
considered accepted. Examples of such processes include the completion
of a master promissory note for each loan offered to a student or parent,
and the completion of the online student entrance-counseling interview
for first-time loan borrowers at Frostburg State University. All instructions
for completing the requirements and accepting each form of student financial
aid are sent to the student as part of the financial aid award notification,
which is delivered via regular mail (for prospective students) or email
(for returning students).
Completion of the Financial Aid Verification Process
If your Student Aid Report (the output information
from your FAFSA) indicates that you have been selected for verification
by the federal processor, you will be responsible for providing, at
the minimum, a signed federal tax return and a verification worksheet
to the Financial Aid Office. The Financial Aid Office has the right
to request additional information in order to complete the verification
process. The required verification forms can be downloaded from the
section of this website entitled "Printable
Forms." If your tax information differs from the information
on which your FAFSA is based, your awards will be adjusted accordingly.
Stafford Loans cannot be processed, nor can any grant funds be disbursed,
until the verification requirements are satisfied.
