Verification Update
The U.S. Department of Education recently updated the requirements for submitting verification of tax filing, for the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 Award Years. Effective immediately: the Office of Financial Aid will accept a signed copy of student, spouse and/or parent's IRS Tax Return (Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ) in lieu of the IRS Tax Return Transcript.
Note: if you were selected for State Verification by the NJ Higher Education Student Assistance Authority, be advised that the agency will only accept Tax Return Transcripts in determining your State Aid eligibility.
For details, go to the Verification page.
