Reporting Expected Outside Scholarship Funds

The Whitworth University Financial Aid Office requests that all expected outside scholarships be reported to our office by phone, email or through this easy online form. We will include these scholarships in your financial aid offer. This information is also used by the student accounts office to recognize outside scholarships as a resource toward your costs and to reduce the amount you owe the university.

Verification

If your FAFSA application has been selected by the federal student aid processor for a review process called verification, please be aware of the following. As part of this process, Whitworth will compare the data on your FAFSA with your federal tax information (tax transcript or other tax documents):

For the 2019-20 FAFSA, your 2017 tax documents will be reviewed.
For the 2020-21 FAFSA, your 2018 tax documents will be reviewed.

The law states that we have the right to request this information from you before we offer federal student aid. If there are differences between your FAFSA data and the verification documentation, Whitworth will send the correction(s) electronically to the federal student aid processor to have your information corrected; this could result in your financial aid offer being revised. In this case, we will send you an email within a few days of the revision.

To prevent your financial aid from being delayed, complete this process as soon as possible. Verification must be completed within 60 days from the start of the term to maintain your eligibility for work-study and must be completed no later than 120 days after the last date of enrollment (Sept. 19, 2020, for the 2019-20 academic year, or Sept. 18, 2021, for the 2020-21 academic year), whichever is earliest for that academic year.
