Seniors, the FAFSA and CSS Profile have opened!
|
The FAFSA is the official form that families must use to apply for federal financial aid to pay for college. It is also used by many states and individual colleges and universities in making their financial aid decisions.
The College Board’s CSS Profile™ is an online application that collects information used by almost 400 colleges, universities, professional schools, and scholarship programs to award financial aid from sources outside of the federal government. After you submit your application, the College Board sends it to the colleges and scholarship programs you have chosen. NOT ALL COLLEGES and SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS require the CSS Profile. Check with the ones you’re interested in to see if they require it. |

*Important Disclaimer Regarding Financial Aid
Both the CSS Profile and the FAFSA can be filed as early as October 1st and should be completed as soon as possible in order to take advantage of aid that is distributed on a first come, first serve basis. All schools have their own deadlines in place for the CSS, but many require students to file the profile two weeks before the college's priority admission application deadline. The FAFSA should be filled out as soon as possible as well, and students should also prioritize their early applications as well as their state school applications in order to receive the best aid!
