Verification of Identity

As part of the verification process, the Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA) must verify your identity and collect your statement of educational purpose by using the Identity and Statement of Purpose form.

You must appear in person at the Kansas State University Office of Student Financial Assistance to present the following:

• a valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification (ID), such as a drivers’ license, other state-issued ID, or passport AND
• a signed Statement of Educational Purpose

Kansas State University will maintain a copy of the photo ID annotated with the date it was received and the name of the authorized official who collected your ID.

If you are unable to appear in person, you must provide the following:

• a copy of the valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification (ID) referenced in the Notary’s Certificate of Acknowledgement (on the form), AND
• the original notarized State of Educational Purpose below signed by you.

NOTE: To complete this requirement, you MUST MAIL the original document with your “wet” signature. An electronically uploaded copy of this form cannot be accepted.
