You may be selected for verification by the School Servicing Center (SSC). If so, log in to www.sscwp.org to learn about the paperwork required. Submit documents promptly to SSC.
  View your list of documents in My Financial Aid under Required Documents.
  You will be notified by email if you are awarded financial aid. You may then view your award in My Financial Aid under My Awards.
