What is the CSS Profile?
The CSS Profile is an online application used by colleges and scholarship programs to award non-federal institutional aid.
For federal aid you must complete the FAFSA, available October 1
The CSS Profile, like the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is used to assess your family’s income and assets to calculate your expected family contribution. And colleges use your expected family contribution to determine your financial aid package.
The CSS profile is used to qualify for private, institutional grants and scholarships at participating schools.
When should I submit the CSS Profile?
The CSS Profile for the 2023-24 school year comes out October 1, 2022, and each school or program sets its own deadline. But you should submit no later than two weeks before a school’s priority filing date.
Who must complete the application?
Check your colleges’ information to determine whether they require the CSS Profile
Some schools may also require divorced or separated parents to complete separate applications.
What kind of financial aid can I get with the CSS Profile vs. the FAFSA?
The CSS Profile is used primarily by private schools and some state universities to award institutional grants and scholarships to pay for college.
The FAFSA can also be used for institutional aid, but its main use is to help you qualify for federal aid, including grants, work-study dollars and student loans.
