INDEPENDENT LOW INCOME STATEMENT
2015 – 2016
Your application for financial aid was selected for review in a process called “Verification”. Based upon a review of your total resources
reported on your Verification Worksheet (V6) and your 2014 expenses reported on the Low Income Expense Form, it was determined that
your total living expenses (reported on the Low Income Expense Form) exceed the total 2014 income/resources (reported on the
Verification Worksheet V6). As a result, you must explain via this statement how expenses were covered since the income/resources were
less than the expenses.
