Students are randomly selected for Verification by the federal government or by Millersville University, and if selected, are required to complete the process before any federal financial aid can be processed. If a student is selected for Verification, s/he must complete the process to obtain financial aid.  (If a student is not selected for Verification, this information is not necessary.) Failure to complete the verification process will prohibit the student from receiving any federal financial aid for the academic year for which s/he is applying.

Millersville University will mail a Verification Form to newly admitted students. Currently enrolled students will receive an email notifying them the Verification process is required – the Verification Form can be obtained by logging into your MAX account and viewing Document Requirements/Holds under the Financial Aid tab.

• Forms required for Verification include, but are not limited to:
  • Millersville University Verification Form
  • Parent(s)’s federal tax return (i.e. 2008 federal tax return is required for the 2009-2010 academic year)
  • Student’s federal tax return, if one was filed (i.e. 2008 federal tax return is required for the 2009-2010 academic year)
  • Any requests for additional forms or information must be supplied before the student can have federal financial aid processed.
