Milwaukee School of Engineering 2014-2015 Verification Worksheet
Your 2014-2015 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) was selected for a review process called “Verification.” In this process,
MSOE will compare the information you reported on the FAFSA to the documentation requested. Please submit all required documentation
within two weeks of receiving this worksheet, if possible. MSOE is aware that accessing the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) can
sometimes take more than two weeks; however, your financial aid will not be determined and disbursed until verification requirements are
completed. MSOE is required to review the requested information under 34 CFR, Part 668.
What to do:
1. Complete steps 1 – 7 and sign the Verification Worksheet. Make sure to carefully read all instructions as errors can delay the
processing of your financial aid.
2. Submit the completed worksheet along with copies of 2013 IRS Tax Return Transcripts (if requested- See Section 3) and any other
documents to the MSOE Financial Aid Office.
