All students who wish to be considered for institutional aid must submit both their AND their parent's wage and tax documentation.  Students with legal dependents they support at least 50%, or students whose parents are unable to provide their documentation due to death/incarceration/etc are excluded from this requirement.  Students who are independent on a  federal tax return, do not receive financial support from a parent or have a parent that is unwilling to supply requested documentation are not sufficient reasons to circumvent the requirement.  All documentation is submitted through a student's account with Inceptia.  Please do not upload any wage or tax documentation to the financial aid office's website. Requested documentation includes but is not limited to:

• A student's signed 2023 federal tax return.  The tax return needs to be signed by the filer either at the bottom of the second page of the return where signatures are indicated, or anywhere on the return.  If a signed tax return is not available but was filed, a tax return transcript can be requested for free from the IRS here.  This service will provide you with a PDF that can be immediately uploaded and does not need to be signed.
• A student's 2023 W-2(s).  These do not need to be signed.  If a W-2 is missing or otherwise unavailable a free wage and income transcript is available for free from the IRS in the same manner as the tax return transcript.  It can be requested here.
• If the student is married at the time of the submission of the application but was not in 2023 then the spouse is also required to submit both a signed tax return/transcript and W-2(s)/transcript.
• The student's parent(s) are also required to submit both a signed 2023 federal tax return/tax return transcript and 2023 W-2's/wage and income transcript.
• Additional documentation may be requested as the application is reviewed.  Please check your e-mail for messages from Inceptia as well as your Inceptia dashboard.
