<p>i got this email:</p>

<p>"We need to clarify information you provided on your Free Application
for Federal Student Aid. We will not be able to consider your appli-
cation for aid until we receive this information, and review its impact
on your eligibility.
Will you have earned a high school diploma or a GED before your first
date of enrollment at the University of Washington?</p>

<pre><code>Yes [ ] No [ ] If no, please explain below."
</code></pre>

<p>do i have only to check yes, or do i need to provide them with documentation? also, i got an AA degree from my cc, so why do they care about my high school diploma/ged?</p>

<p>Just check yes. If they want documentation they will ask for it.</p>

<p>And they are asking because I think you need to have a high school diploma/GED to be eligible for financial aid – [Student</a> Aid on the Web](<a href=“http://studentaid.ed.gov/PORTALSWebApp/students/english/aideligibility.jsp]Student”>http://studentaid.ed.gov/PORTALSWebApp/students/english/aideligibility.jsp)</p>

<p>Even if you have an AA, you still need at least a GED</p>

<p>(Just like you were supposed to have a GED before attending community college(at least all the ones I’m aware of)- however they never bother to actually check)</p>

<p>Thanks for the response. My hs diploma is from Israel and we don’t have ged. Its completely different than here. When I went to college, they never requested anything from me</p>

<p>But you do have one, so just check yes. I kind of doubt they will need documentation.</p>
