Affecting Your Aid

Verification

Federal Verification Process

Approximately 1 out of every 3 students who file a FAFSA are selected by the Federal processor for a quality assurance process called Verification.

We are pleased to announce we have established a partnership with Inceptia to expedite the federal verification process for Millikin University. Verification Gateway (VG) from Inceptia is an online portal to guide students and parents through verification.

If your FAFSA application is selected for verification by the U.S Department of Education, you will receive an email from VGCS@inceptia.org, or postcard from Inceptia, containing Millikin University’s unique website link to start the verification process.

We encourage you to begin the verification process within 7 days of receiving notification from Verification Gateway to ensure you receive your financial aid in time for payments. Failure to complete the verification process could result in the delay or denial of your financial aid.

Outside scholarships

In accordance with Federal Regulation 34CFR73.5b, all sources of funding, ie; resources a student receives or can anticipate from entities outside the institution they are attending, must be considered when awarding need-based financial aid. In the event that outside resources are received after financial aid has been awarded, the institution must review all awards. Millikin makes every effort to reduce the least desirable and first (loans). Please report any scholarships you have received or anticipate through our Outside Scholarship Form.

Special circumstances

Sometimes a situation occurs which affects the financial standing of a family. In instances of loss of employment, divorce, death of a parent, loss of child support, etc., an individualized review of the family's situation may be requested. Please contact the Student Financial Services to discuss your particular situation with a representative.
