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 notify all students via email regarding outstanding requirements.  The Verification Form can be obtained by logging into your MAX account select Financial Aid, My Eligibility, Document Requirements/Holds.
