George Washington

Got an email today asking for my SSN because I applied for financial aid? Does that mean anything?

For George Washington University

Call the school. Wasn’t your SSN on yoir financial aid application forms?

My DS also received this email. Note the “Ifs”. My DS has already submitted the CSS and FAFSA and his SSN, so I think this might just be a general reminder about dates and needed information. I hope we would receive a specific email if his SSN is missing.

"If you have not yet submitted these forms, please do so by the deadline. If you have decided not to apply for financial aid, submit this form so we can update your application.

GW must have your social security number on file in order to process your financial aid application. If you did not provide your social security number in your application for admission, submit your SSN through our secure site."

My son applied not sure if he submitted is san on original app. But I did provide the info. Fafsa and CSS profile completed. Just wondering why they would have asked for it again. Maybe that’s a good sign
