Intended to be the basis of the financial aid package and may be combined with other aid to meet the full cost of attendance. The Federal Pell Grant is a need based aid program in which an eligible recipient does not have to repay the funds received.

Students selected by the United States Department of Education for the process of verification are frequently required to submit additional information and/or parents’ financial & household information to the finance office. The verification procedures will be conducted as follows:

• When selected by the United States Department of Education for the process of verification, the student must submit all required documentation to the Financial Aid office within 10 days of the date notified additional documentation is needed for the verification process.
• If the student does not provide all of the required documentation within the 10 day time frame, the student will be required to make other payment arrangements until the documentation is received and the student’s eligibility for federal student aid has been established.
• The Financial Aid Officer reserves the right to make exceptions to the policy stated above on a case by case basis for extenuating circumstances. The finance office will notify the student of any changes to their financial aid award resulting from corrections made due to the verification process.
• An adjustment will be made to the student’s financial aid award as required by federal regulations and an addendum to the existing award letter or a new award letter will be issued.

Students selected for verification should complete the most recent Independent or Dependent Student Verification forms (maintained in the Financial Aid Office) and supply them back to the Financial Aid office within 10 days of the date notified.

The Barber Education Academy understands all conflicting information must be resolved before any Title IV funds can be disbursed. Students with conflicting information in their files or paperwork may be selected for verification by the school or its servicer in order to resolve the information in question.
