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.

  • You reported incorrect information on the 2024-2025 FAFSA.
  • You have made an error on the Verification form.

Don't use this form if...
