What happens if I get flagged for Citizenship Verification for awarding?

A complete financial aid application includes all documents required for awarding and disbursing funds.  To be a recipient of Financial Aid, students must be citizens of the U.S. or eligible non-citizens. Students flagged for Citizenship Match will have a document entitled “Eligibility Task” in their financial aid portal as an indicator that they have items to complete.

Students may be required to complete a citizenship verification form and submit required documents including proof of citizenship. Some examples can include a U.S. passport, permanent resident card, or certificate of naturalization.
