Selective Service Registration Compliance
An amendment to the Military Selective Service Act (Pub.

Among Title IV financial aid applicants, men (citizens and eligible non-citizens except permanent residents of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands) who are at least 18 years old and born after December 31, 1959 and who are not currently on active duty with the armed services must be registered.
The law specifically requires that, in order to receive Title IV aid, all financial aid applicants are required to file a Statement of Registration Compliance.
