STUDENT CONSENT:
By my signature below, I, {name}authorize and direct Community College of Baltimore County to:
- A. Verify my family’s income using Federal Tax Information (FTI) data from my Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), for the purpose of verifying my eligibility to participate in TRIO programs.
- B. Verify my family’s non-filing status using Federal Tax Information (FTI) data from my Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), for the purpose of verifying my eligibility to participate in TRIO programs.
- C. Produce and release an un-redacted copy of the Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) to my attention, for the purpose of verifying my eligibility to participate in TRIO programs.
To participate in TRIO programs as a “low-income individual,” my family’s taxable income cannot exceed 150 percent of the poverty level amount established by the Census Bureau. In absence of an IRS tax transcript, Community College of Baltimore County will utilize Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) information provided during FAFSA Completion.
I agree that such verification described in options A and B may be provided to Student Support Services director, Student Support Services program coordinators, and other individuals employed by the Community College of Baltimore County and involved with the supervision and direction of projects funded under the Federal TRIO programs.
I understand that the above records and information:
- 1. May include return information disclosed under section 6103(l)(13) of title 26; and
- 2. May only be used for the specific purpose outlined in this consent form and no other purposes.
It is my intent that this consent form be interpreted to the extent permitted by applicable law, including but not limited to the Internal Revenue Code, the Higher Education Act, and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
