Review the reports for accuracy and follow all instructions on these documents.  Verify that The Kubert School is listed on the SAR as an institution that will receive your information. Kubert will access this data electronically to prepare your aid package.
 
2. Students selected for the federal or institutional process called "verification", will receive notification from the Kubert Office of Financial Aid listing materials required to complete the aid determination process.  Requested materials may include tax returns, proof of residency, proof of date of birth, citizenship, copy of social security card, selective service registration (males), proof of marital status, etc. All requested items must be received, before an award determination is made.

How Aid is Applied to Tuition 

All forms of aid are applied to a student's tuition account immediately after the add-drop period and the verification of attendance.  Student's whose aid exceeds their tuition cost will receive a refund check, which is processed by the College.
