A Non-Filer's Form must be provided to the NSU Office of Student Financial Assistance if you are selected for verification. The Department of Education selects students randomly or based on conflicting data. In addition, a Verification Form must be completed and signed including all untaxed income received. If requested, additional documentation may be required to confirm conflicting information. A Non-Filer's Form will also be required if an income tax return was not completed including your expenses and sources of income received to cover those expenses.
Financial aid includes grants, loans, work-study, and scholarships.
In addition, do not include your spouse in the number in household. You may be expected to provide proof if selected for verification. As of 2001-2002, you cannot include your parent in the calculation for number in college. You are not an independent student just based on the fact that you work and do not live with your parents. The EFC is the amount you and your family are expected to contribute towards your education.
