Privacy notice: This information is being requested in order to determine your federal, state, and/or institutional financial aid eligibility at the University of Minnesota and will be viewable by University staff with a business need. Declining to submit the information will prevent the University from finalizing your aid eligibility. You are not legally required to submit the information and/or documentation. However, refusal to do so will result in an incomplete financial aid application, and therefore, you may not receive financial aid for which you applied.

Use this form if...

  • You are currently on active duty and have been requested to provide additional documentation to support responses on your FAFSA.

Don't use this form if...

  • You are not on active duty or have not been requested to provide additional documentation for your FAFSA responses.
