FAFSA

The FAFSA opens on October 1 and must be submitted each year for students to be considered for federal, state, and some institutional financial aid. The FAFSA determines your Student Aid Index (SAI). This is used to help determine your financial need and to award financial aid such as grants, loans, and student employment.

Access the FAFSA form here. Make sure to create an FSA ID and password when you get to this page (one can be obtained at this link). Write these down, as you’ll need them again later! Have questions about the FAFSA? Visit this page.

FAFSA Verification Worksheets

Every year, the U.S. Department of Education selects about 22% of those who complete the FAFSA for verification. This doesn’t mean you did something wrong; they use verification to confirm that the household and tax data reported on your FAFSA is accurate.

In order to receive your offered financial aid, you must complete the verification process. George Fox reserves the right to select a student for verification who was not federally selected.

All verification forms can be submitted online or mailed. Please make sure to complete the forms corresponding to the correct aid year.

Here are instructions and forms you will need if you are selected:

FERPA Release of Information

George Fox takes your confidential information seriously. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 protects the privacy of students’ confidential financial aid and educational records. There is some information that is not confidential under FERPA laws, but George Fox still needs students’ written consent to release those records.

Professional Judgment

We know that sometimes a family's financial situation is not accurately represented on the FAFSA. In some cases, we may be able to consider a Professional Judgment. Professional Judgment requests must be approved by the Professional Judgment Committee.
