Forms & Worksheets

student studying

Below is information about our forms process and links to forms that both students and parents (if necessary) can access. If you have any questions, please contact our office at (603)-862-3600. 

The U.S. Department of Education requires that documents containing personally identifiable information (PII) be transmitted securely. Therefore, we cannot accept forms or attached documents containing personally identifiable information via email. You may submit documents through our Secure Document Upload. Please be sure that all documents include the student’s name and college ID number.

All information, documents, and/or materials submitted to the Student Financial Services office at UNH become the property of UNH Student Financial Services. Please keep a copy of all submitted forms for your records. For more information, contact us at financial.aid@unh.edu or 603-862-3600.

The following forms can be found in Webcat by going to the Financial Aid Home page, selecting the aid year, and clicking on the requirement. This will open the NextGen Dynamic Form for the student to complete. The parents can also access these through the Financial Aid website. A parent will be asked to log into the NextGen Dynamic Form or create an account if you have not previously done so.

Once the student’s tax filing information has been completed, the student will be asked to sign the form.

  •  The parent/spouse can reject the application if they believe the student has entered incorrect information.
    • The student will get an email from Dynamic Forms asking them to re-submit their Verification Worksheet. 
  • Parents/spouse are asked to complete their tax filing information and to sign the form.
