Federal Verification: What it means for you


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

The U.S. Department of Education or Manchester University may select your FAFSA for a process known as Federal Verification. Federal Verification is an important part of the financial aid application process and is used to verify the accuracy of information provided on the FAFSA. If you are selected for Federal Verification, the requirements must be met in order for Manchester to disburse financial aid to your student account.

If you are a new student, your financial aid notification is considered estimated, pending the completion of the verification process.

If you are a returning student, you will not receive a financial aid notification until the verification process is complete.

About Inceptia 
Inceptia, a division of National Student Loan Program (NSLP), is a nonprofit organization committed to offering effective and uncomplicated solutions in financial aid management, default prevention, and financial education. Our mission is to support schools as they launch brilliant futures for students, armed with the knowledge to become financially responsible citizens. Learn more at Inceptia.org
