Families often lose out on financial aid because they do not fill out the application form. The Application Status Check is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing web applicants with more flexibility to help fit this important process into their busy schedules. Be sure to review it for accuracy, and, if necessary, follow the instructions for making corrections. Colleges use this information in awarding financial aid to students. This prevents ineligible students from receiving aid by reporting false information, and it ensures that eligible students receive all of the aid for which they qualify.
Some colleges also choose applications for verification.
In any case, a student whose application is selected must give his or her financial office certain documentation to show that the application information is correct. SSU will send you notification of the documents needed for verification. Failure to respond to our award notification in the given two week period may result in the cancellation of the offer. If your family s financial circumstances have changed due to the death of a parent, divorce or separation, or loss full time of employment, contact our office. In fairness to all students, SSU financial aid decisions are based on the ability, and not the willingness, of parents to contribute towards your college education.
