Applications/Request Forms

Students who wish to be considered for financial aid must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA):

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

• www.fafsa.ed.gov

The Department of Education randomly selects individuals for a processed called "Verification".  This process requires schools who participate in the federal aid program to ensure that students are completing the FAFSA form accurately. In order to verify the data that has been submitted on the FAFSA students will be required to provide tax information (additional documentation may also be required) to NYLS. Students selected for verification, are informed on the Student Aid Report (SAR), which is received by the student after the FAFSA is processed by the federal government.  In addition to federal tax return(s) students (and spouses, if applicable) are required to submit a Verification Worksheet to the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid:
